Note: +indicates the inclusion of the named variable in the single exposure model specified above it. LLI, local living index; LOPTS, level of public transport service.
Lowest and highest categories for each exposure are defined, respectively, as follows: LLI (home and work/education), 0–3 and 10–12 destinations; jobs within 30 min by public transport, and ; commute time by car:public transport ratio, and ; level of public transport service (home and work/education), 0 and 2–3.
Numbers of observations in each exposure category; does not account for missing covariate data. There were 16 missing values for commute time by car/public transport.
Estimates from linear regression models of minutes of daily walking (transformed by a power of 1/2.6 and back transformed to compare in bootstrapped contrasts) in association with local accessibility measures (LLI: Home and LLI: Work/Education) and regional accessibility measures among 4,913 adults commuting to work or education on the survey day. Single-exposure models were adjusted for age group, sex, household income, occupational skill level, license to drive, number of household vehicles, distance to work/education (km), Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA), and clustering at a Statistical Area 1 (SA1) level. Models of local accessibility measures were additionally adjusted for the alternative LLI and each of the regional accessibility measures; models of each reginal accessibility measure were additionally adjusted for LLI: Home and LLI: Work/Education.
