A young couple is searching for a home in a new neighborhood. Which of the following neighborhoods would most likely promote a healthy lifestyle?
a. One near a large active military base
b. One with excellent health facilities nearby
c. One with high walkability
d. One with superb recreational facilities
ANS: C
One's environment is a significant factor. Those living in neighborhoods with high walkability engage in significantly more walking than those living in neighborhoods with low walkability. Having health and recreational facilities in the neighborhood can assist with health, but the family would need to be able to afford to purchase services at these businesses. Having a large active military base nearby would not play a major role related to the healthy lifestyle in the neighborhood.
