a

P-value of the group difference between the subtractions of utilitarian walking bouts and the subtractions of recreational walking bouts, after adjusting a nested structure of walking bouts within participants.

b

Neighborhood Center (NC), mixed-use areas with routine destination, defined as a minimum convex hull polygon delineated by at least one of each grocery/supermarket(s), retail(s), and restaurant(s) parcels clustered within 50m of each other (Lee and Moudon, 2006a).
