El objetivo de este trabajo es evaluar el grado de asociación entre el contexto social (familia y amigos) y las características del entorno urbano de residencia con el nivel de actividad física de los estudiantes universitarios de Colima. En el estudio han participado 356 estudiantes de la Universidad de Colima, el 51.1% mujeres y el 48.9% hombres, con edad media de 20,98 ± 2,24 años. Se realizó un estudio transversal a través de una en- cuesta que evaluó la influencia del apoyo del entorno social afectivo y de las condiciones del entorno urbano en la práctica de actividad física habitual (cuestionario IPAQ versión corta) y de la actividad física y deportiva en el tiempo de ocio. Se han calculado las Odds Ratio (95% IC) a través de un modelo de regresión logística multinomial, ajustando la relación entre los indicadores estudiados a las variables sexo, edad y ciclo educativo.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the degree of association between social context (family and friends) and the characteristics of one´s residence with the physical activity levels of university students at Colima University, Mexico. The study included 356 students, 51.1% women and 48.9% men, with a mean age of 20.98 ± 2.24 years. A questionnaire (IPAQ, short version) was employed to evaluate physical activity patterns and to assess perceived social and family support. Home environmental characteristics were also determined by this questionnaire, and they comprised the influence of perceived neighbourhood safety, availability of transportation, proximity to sports facilities, and economic access to leisure physical activity settings. Odds ratios were calculated (95% CI) using a multinomial logistic regression model, using sex, age and education level as confounding variables. Residential context and perceived social support influences the physical activity patterns of college students in Colima.
Key words: Physical activity, social support, family environment, college students.
