摘要

Introduction: Hong Kong older adults have been found to accumulate high levels of walking compared to their Westerns counterparts living in low-density cities. These differences in walking could be attributed to differences in destination accessibility. However, between-city differences in older adults' walking and perceived destination accessibility have not been quantified. This study examined differences in walking and patterns of perceived destination accessibility within 5-, 10-, and 20-minute walk from home between older adults aged >= 65 years in Brisbane and Hong Kong. Methods: We used data from epidemiological studies conducted in Brisbane (n = 793) and Hong Kong (n = 484) using comparable measures of perceived distance to 12 destinations and weekly minutes of walking for transport and recreation. Regression models accounting for neighbourhood-level clustering were used to estimate between-city differences in walking and access to specific destinations. Latent class analyses were used to identify city-specific patterns of destination accessibility. Results: Hong Kong older adults accumulated significantly more minutes of walking than their Brisbane counterparts and also reported higher accessibility to most destinations. The between-city differences in percentage of older adults with access to a diversity of destinations were particularly large for shorter distances (5- and 10-minute walk from home). Conclusion: Low-density cities should provide ageing-friendly housing in the city centre with high levels of accessibility to relevant destinations and/or promote the implementation of urban planning policies that support the development of mixed land use and higher levels of residential density. 引言：研究发现，与生活在低密度城市的西方人士相比，香港老年人具有较高的步行量。这些在步行量上的差异可以归因于在目的地可达性方面存在的差异。然而，老年人在步行量和目的地可达性方面体现的城市差异尚未得到量化。此项研究考查了生活在布里斯班和香港的65岁以上的老年人所感知的在5分钟、10分钟和20分钟内步行抵达目的地的差异。方法：我们使用了来自流行病学研究的数据，采用了抵达12个目的地的感知距离和每周花在出行和娱乐上的步行时间的可比测量数据，分别在布里斯班(n = 793)和香港(n = 484)进行了研究。我们采用邻域层次聚类的回归模型计算法来估计城市之间在步行和抵达特定目的地方面的差异。我们用潜在类别分析法来确定具体城市的目的地可达性形态。结果：与布里斯班的老年人相比，香港老年人的步行时间明显增加，而且在去到大多数目的地方面具有更高的可达性。在短距离上(从家出发步行5~10分钟之间)，两市之间老年人抵达不同目的地的百分比差异特别大。结论：低密度城市应在市中心提供适合老年人居住的房屋，使得老年人在前往相关目的地时具有较高程度的可达性，并需要推动城市规划政策的实施，支持发展混合用地和更高密度的居住区。
