Predicting Leisure Walking Intentions Among Older Adults in Urban Residential Areas: Extended Theory of Planned Behavior and Health Belief Model.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
AimThis study aimed to examine the factors influencing leisure walking intention among older adults in urban residential areas, analyze their interrelationships, and propose strategies for promoting walking activities.BackgroundUnderstanding the factors influencing walking intentions among older adults is essential for developing interventions that enhance physical activity levels in an ageing society. A comprehensive approach that integrates psychological and environmental factors provides deeper insight into these influences.MethodsData were primarily obtained from older adults aged 60 years and older residing in five residential areas in Guilin, China, selected based on construction time, population density, available facilities, and aesthetic design. Participants were recruited through assistance from residential management. After excluding questionnaires with ineligible ages, excessively short completion times, or uniform responses, 527 valid questionnaires were retained. Data analysis was constructed using structural equation modeling, integrating the Theory of Planned Behavior and the Health Belief Model. Reliability and validity of the questionnaire were evaluated through Cronbach's alpha, composite reliability, factor loadings and average variance extracted.ResultsThe findings of this study revealed that among the factors influencing walking behavior intention, attitudes towards walking had the strongest positive effects. Perceived environmental barriers have a stronger negative impact on walking intention than perceived personal barriers.ConclusionsImproving residential walking facilities to reduce environmental barriers and enhancing community health education to reinforce health beliefs are effective strategies for promoting physical activity among older adults. These findings provide practical guidance for urban planning and public health initiatives.
