a

Random effects model adjusted for age, sex, income, occupation, and area disadvantage.

b

Random effects model with additional adjustment for preference for walking.

c

Fixed effects models adjusted for time invariant confounding. Logistic and linear models are based only on data for participants who experienced a change in the predictor over time; logistic model estimates are additionally limited to participants who experienced a change in walking for transport.

d

ORs (95% CI) from logistic regression models for any walking vs. no walking, and beta coefficients (95% CI) from linear regression models representing the difference in mean minutes of walking, in association with an increase over time in connectivity (10 additional four-way intersections within 1km), residential density (five additional dwellings per hectare within 1km), and land-use mix (10% increase in heterogeneity within 1km), respectively.
