cadjusted for Street Smart Walk Score, gender, and age

dadjusted for all variables listed in this table with the exception of vehicle availability, since vehicle availability was not associated with time spent in light physical activity (min/day) at p ≤ 0.2 in bivariate analyses

eadjusted for all variables listed in this table with the exception of traffic, since traffic was not associated with time spent in MVPA (min/day) at p ≤ 0.2 in bivariate analyses

fNEWS-A (Neighbourhood Environment Walkability Scale—abbreviated) Subscale F: Aesthetics (four-point scale)

gNEWS-A Subscale G: Traffic hazards (four-point scale); reverse coded so that higher score indicates better walkability

hTotal number; measured with the Functional Comorbidity Index

iAssessed as part of the 4-m walk (usual pace) component of the Short Physical Performance Battery

jVery much like to walk (5 on a 5-point scale) vs. less than very much liking to walk (1–4 on a 5-point scale)

kAssessed by the Ambulatory Self-Confidence Questionnaire
