# metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
This study investigated whether residential availability of
                natural outdoor environments (NOE) was associated with contact
                with NOE, overall physical activity and physical activity in
                NOE, in four different European cities using objective measures.
                A nested cross-sectional study was conducted in Barcelona
                (Spain); Stoke-on-Trent (United Kingdom); Doetinchem (The
                Netherlands); and Kaunas (Lithuania). Smartphones were used to
                collect information on the location and physical activity
                (overall and NOE) of around 100 residents of each city over
                seven days. We used Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to
                determine residential NOE availability (presence/absence of NOE
                within 300 m buffer from residence), contact with NOE (time
                spent in NOE), overall PA (total physical activity), NOE PA
                (total physical activity in NOE). Potential effect modifiers
                were investigated. Participants spent around 40 min in NOE and
                80 min doing overall PA daily, of which 11% was in NOE. Having
                residential NOE availability was consistently linked with higher
                NOE contact during weekdays, but not to overall PA. Having
                residential NOE availability was related to NOE PA, especially
                for our Barcelona participants, people that lived in a city with
                low NOE availability.
