a
Model predicting regular walking at 12 months adjusted for baseline regular walking and one predictor only.
b
Model further adjusted for age, gender, and education, and all the listed predictors and confounders.
c
OR = odds ratio.
d
Increment of 1 point in self-efficacy score which ranged from 1 to 5 (highest).
e
Interaction term model and all covariates in main effect model (pedestrian-oriented; items 1–4 collapsed).
