Associations between the two road measures and three indicators of social class (mother and household smoking, and mother's education)
| Traffic measure | Dependent variable | Road type | OR | 95% CI | P-value |

Odds ratios are on a scale of per km for distance, and per segment for the number of roads.
OR = odds ratio, CI = confidence interval
