Table 3.
Bivariate associations (Pearson’s Correlation Coefficients and 95% Confidence Intervals) between perceived and objectively-measured (Geographic Information System, GIS) neighborhood barriers and individual-level diet, physical activity, and Body Mass Index (BMI). Correlations with p-values < 0.05 are highlighted in bold.
| Individual-level Characteristics | ||
|---|---|---|
| Neighborhood factors related to nutrition | Diet Quality | BMI |
| Perceived Neighborhood Nutrition Barriers (higher score indicates more barriers) | −0.17 (−0.28, −0.05) | 0.13 (0.03, 0.23) |
| Perceived Total Neighborhood Barriers (higher score indicates more barriers) | −0.15 (−0.27, −0.03) | 0.14 (0.03, 0.24) |
| GIS nutrition - density (higher score indicates better access) | −0.03 (−0.17, 0.10) | 0.00 (−0.11, 0.12) |
| GIS nutrition - distance (higher score indicates greater distance and less access) | −0.16 (−0.29, −0.03) | −0.03 (−0.15, 0.09) |
| Neighborhood factors related to physical activity | Total Activity | BMI |
| Perceived Neighborhood Physical Activity Barriers (higher score indicates more barriers) | 0.01 (−0.10, 0.11) | 0.12 (0.01, 0.22) |
| Perceived Total Neighborhood Barriers (higher score indicates more barriers) | 0.01 (−0.09, 0.12) | 0.14 (0.03, 0.24) |
| GIS physical activity - density ((higher score indicates better access) | −0.03 (−0.14, 0.09) | 0.00 (−0.11, 0.12) |
| GIS physical activity - distance (higher score indicates greater distance and less access) | −0.06 (−0.18, 0.05) | 0.03 (−0.09, 0.15) |
