Abstract

![CDATA[Abstract: The purpose of this study was to quantify the relationship and pathways linking proximity to green space and weight status among a sample of Australians aged 45 years and older. Conclusions: Use of green space for tackling obesity may have a more substantive impact among women than men. Large-scale investments to enhance neighborhood green space may promote moderate to vigorous physical activity and reduce sedentary behavior in middle to older aged adults.]]
