Background   This study examined the association between selected sociodemographic, health, and built environmental factors and walking behaviors of middle-aged and older overweight/obese adults.Methods   Subjective data were obtained from surveys administered to community-dwelling overweight/obese adults aged ≥50 years residing in four Texas cities from October 2013 to June 2014, along with objective data on neighborhood walkability (Walk Score™). Multivariate logistic regression identified factors predicting the odds of walking the recommended ≥150 minutes per week for any purpose.Results   Of 253 participants, the majority were non-Hispanic white (81.8%), married (74.5%), and male (53.4%) and reported an annual income of ≥$50,000 (65.5%). Approximately, half were employed (49.6%) or had at least a college degree (51.6%). Walking the recommended ≥150 minutes per week for any purpose ( n  = 57, 22.5%) was significantly associated with having at least a college degree (OR = 5.55, 95% CI = 1.79–17.25), having no difficulty walking a quarter of a mile (OR = 5.18, 95% CI = 1.30–20.83), and being unemployed (OR = 3.25, 95% CI = 1.18–8.93) as well as perceived presence of sidewalks/protected walkways (OR = 3.56, 95% CI = 1.10–11.50) and perceived absence of distracted drivers in the neighborhood (OR = 4.08, 95% CI = 1.47–11.36).Conclusion   Addressing neighborhood conditions related to distracted drivers and pedestrian infrastructure may promote walking among middle-aged and older overweight/obese individuals.
