Table 2.
Odds Ratios (ORs) of visiting a green space at least once a week, achieving physical activity guidelines, and being overweight or obese by distance to green space type. All values are adjusted for age, sex, socioeconomic status, self-rated health, and area deprivation. Significance values represent the results from a test of trend across the quartiles of accessibility.
