Legend: ICC, intraclass correlation coefficient. B = beta regression coefficients; SD: standard deviation; 95% CI: 95% confidence intervals.

* Model 1: neighbourhood random effect only; Model 2: Model 1 plus fixed effects of neighbourhood socioeconomic deprivation class; Model 3: Model 2 plus age, gender and education; Model 4: Model 3 plus smoking, alcohol consumption, sedentariness and chronic diseases.

ˠ Proportion of explained variance (%): corresponds to the proportion of between-neighbourhood variance that could be explained by measured neighbourhood variables, and individual-level confounders compared to Model 1, calculated as [1-(variance of the model/ variance of the reference model)]*100; Ref: Reference category. N = 1154.
