Understanding actual and perceived environmental constraints to active transportation in older adults
FY 2019-20
Summary
"For my graduate work, I hope to analyze data from the pre-linked Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA) and Canadian Urban Environmental Health Research Consortium (CANUE) to better understand the impact that age-friendly environments have on the mobility and access of older adults living in urban and rural areas of Canada. This dataset contains data from over 50,000 older men and women in Canada and contains data pertaining to physical activity, the built environment, health, and functional fitness. We hope to use postal code level data to better understand what makes a neighbourhood truly age-friendly. "
