a crosssectional study

Compared with non-dog owners, dog owners walked more and spent more time in natural outdoor environments (NOE) especially those living within 300 m of a NOE and in greener areas. The health implications of these relationships should be further investigated. In a largely physically inactive society, dog walking in NOE may be a simple way of promoting physical activity and health.
