Ref., reference category.

Logistic regression models using the generalized estimating equations method were used to estimate adjusted OR and 95 % CI. Residential segregation was included in models as a categorical variable with ‘low’ residential segregation as the reference category (high, Inline graphic; medium, Inline graphic; and low, Inline graphic). Regular consumption defined as a consumption of any amount for five days or more per week, except for replacement of lunch or dinner with snacks (seven days per week). Low perceived food environments were considered when the answers to all questions about fruit and vegetable availability (variety, quality and price) were ‘no’.

Model 1: adjusted for age, gender and skin colour.

Model 2: Model 1 + family income and education.

Model 3: Model 2 + self-rated health and BMI (kg/m2).

Model 4: Model 3 + low perceived food environment.
