Odds ratios for visiting a green space at least once a week, achieving physical activity recommendations, and being overweight or obese, by distance to Formal green space. All values are adjusted for age, sex, socioeconomic status, self-rated health, area deprivation, and the neighbourhood variables found to exhibit an association with each outcome. Significance values represent the results from a test of trend across the quartiles of accessibility.
