Objective. The purpose of this study was to examine the associations between a broad range of environmental characteristics and jogging behavior while taking into account different complementary outcomes to describe the behavior. Methods. Using the RECORD Cohort Study (7290 participants, 2007-2008, Paris region, France), multilevel models were used to investigate individual/neighborhood variables associated with the probability of jogging; the time spent jogging; and the location of the practice. Results. The presence and quality of green and open spaces was associated both with a greater probability of jogging [risk ratio (RR) for the first vs. the fourth quartile = 1.22, 95% credible interval (Crl): 1.03-1.44] and with the practice of jogging within rather than outside the neighborhood (RR = 1.29; 95% Crl: 1.10-1.53). Moreover, a high social cohesion and the presence of enjoyable places were associated with a higher probability of jogging (RR = 1.15; 95% Crl: 1.00-1.31; RR = 1.22; 95% Crl: 1.03-1.44) while the presence of parks or a lake increased the probability of jogging inside rather than outside the neighborhood (RR = 1.29; 95% Crl: 1.10-1.53; RR = 1.14; 95% Crl: 1.03-1.26). Conclusions. Paying attention to physical and social environments, related neighborhood experiences, and attitudes toward health may be an effective approach to promote outdoor physical activity.
