^a Predictors and regression coefficients in the table are derived from the best fit model for the outcome based on the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC). Other explanatory variables tested include neighbourhood deprivation, household income, higher education, household composition, caring responsibilities, smoking status, alcohol consumption, and having an allotment, but these were dropped in the process of improving model fit

^b Model R² = 0.26 (Hosmer Lemeshow), 0.20 (Cox and Snell), 0.35 (Nagelkerke); χ² [19] = 42.07

^c Figures in bold are statistically significant at the 5% level (p < 0.05)
