Physical neighbourhood factors are operationalised as z-scores, except for mRFEI. All analyses, except for SES, were adjusted for age, sex, educational level, length of residency, RAD and SES. Analyses with SES were adjusted for age, sex, educational level, length of residency and RAD. n, number of participants; B, unstandardized coefficients; 95% CI, 95% confidence interval; BMI, body mass index measured in kg/m2; OR, odds ratio; mRFEI, modified retail food environment index calculated by dividing the number of healthy food outlets by the total number of healthy and unhealthy food outlets and multiplying this by 100; SES, socio-economic status; ref, reference; RAD, residential area density. Bold numbers represent significant associations (two-sidedp value <0.05).
