abstract = {Objectives: The aim of this systematic review is to analyze the research journals, sample
characteristics and research methodology used in the studies about school neighborhood
built environment (SNBE) and the physical health of children and adolescents. Methods:
Using 124 key terms across four databases (Web of Science, PubMed, Sportdiscus and
Transportation Research Board), 8837 studies were identified, and 55 were selected. The
research question and evidence search were guided by the “Population, Intervention,
Comparison, Outcomes” (PICO) framework. Results: Most studies were published in
health-related research journals (67.3%) and conducted in 16 countries, primarily urban
contexts (44.4%). Cross-sectional designs dominated (89.1%), with participation ranging from a minimum of 7 schools and 94 students to a maximum of 6362 schools and
979,119 students. Street network distances are often defined by 1000 or 800 m. The SNBE
variables (135 total) were often measured via GIS (67.2%). In contrast, 70.6% of the 45 physical health measures relied on self-reports. Conclusions: This systematic review highlights
the diverse approaches, gaps, and common patterns in studying the association between
the SNBE and the physical health of children and adolescents. Therefore, this manuscript
may serve as a valuable resource to examine the current landscape of knowledge and to
guide future research on this topic.},
