| Aim | To examine and describe the current state, strength and quality of research investigating the associations between built environments and PA domains of active living (i.e., leisure, transportation, occupational) and total PA among adults (≥18 years) from high-income OECD countries. |
| Level of Investigation | Descriptive |
| Summary of Findings | From 116 included systematic reviews of associations between built environments and physical activity domains of active living indexed across 6 databases from January 2000 to May 2020. Most (75/116) reviews were assessed as being of critically low methodological quality, 18 were assessed as low quality using AMSTAR-2 criteria. Items which were not reported by a high proportion of systematic reviews were the availability or deviations from a pre-registered protocol; and reporting on the sources of funding for the studies included in the review. Other items which many reviews did not adhere to were performing study selection in duplicate, performing data extraction in duplicate, and accounting for Risk of Bias in individual studies when interpreting/ discussing the results of the review. |
