What happens after people leave
the doctor's office? A new breed of
researchers is finding out how our
physical and social environments
affect the fitness and lifestyle advice
that health professionals provide ...
ccording to Dr. Bob Reid, a
behavioural scientist funded by
the Heart and Stroke
Foundation, the typical questions to ask
patients to assess the risk of heart
disease and stroke aren't found in the
standard medical textbooks.
"How far do you live from a bicycle
path or walking trail? Do you have a
health-club membership? Do you own
cross-country skis? Are your family and
friends active? Do you like to do your
physical activity alone or with others?"
"Human behaviour is determined,
to a significant degree, by people's
social and physical environment. What
our research tries to do is to identify
important environmental determinants
and different lifestyle behaviours like
physical activity, smoking and healthy
eating. We have to consider where
people live, who they spend their time
with, what they feel comfortable with,
the image they want to present to
others. That is our environment, and it
plays a huge role in motivating
people to live heart-healthy lives."
People will be more active where
the climate and the transportation
systems favour outdoor activities. On
the west coast, for example, people
are generally more active because
the weather is more conducive to
year-round activities. In Ontario,
climate has a big impact on physical
activity behaviours. People need
indoor alternatives to keep their fitness
program on track.
Dr. Reid is recruiting more than
1,000 patients with heart disease for a
clinical trial to find out how social and

"Our environment
plays a huge role in
motivating people to live
heart-healthy lives"
- Dr. Bob Reid, Heart & Stroke Researcher
environmental factors influence
people's willingness and ability to
increase their physical activity. He often
cites one example of an
environmental effect on heart-healthy
behaviour. He turns to a study
he carried out on factors that lead
people to stop smoking.
"We found that smoking is no longer
socially acceptable and this is the
biggest single factor motivating
people to quit. A lot of behaviour is
determined by putting people in the
right environment where they get
support to lead a healthier lifestyle,
says Dr. Reid.
