Prospective Study of Urban Form and Physical Activity in the Black Women's Health Study
American Journal of Epidemiology, 10/07/09

Coogan PF et al. – For all women, housing density had the strongest association with utilitarian walking, followed by availability of public transit. Women who moved during follow–up to neighborhoods of lower density were 36% more likely to decrease their levels of utilitarian walking, and those who moved to neighborhoods of higher density were 23% more likely to increase their levels of utilitarian walking, relative to women who moved to neighborhoods of similar density. These data suggest that increases in housing density may lead to increases in utilitarian walking among African–American women.
