Associations between winning the lottery and transit use, activity, and weight
Dependent variables | Time since winning (95% CI) | ||
---|---|---|---|
0.1 years (minimum) | 2.6 years (average) | 5.1 years (maximum) | |
Weekly transit rides | −2.73 (−4.53 to −0.92) | −2.82 (−3.79 to −1.85) | −2.91 (−5.13 to −0.7) |
Minutes daily walking/bicycling | 15.77 (−5.85 to 37.39) | −4.2 (−11.94 to 3.53) | −24.18 (−40.28 to −8.08) |
Weight (kg) | −1.74 (−8.04 to 4.57) | 0.14 (−2.54 to 2.83) | 2.03 (−3.93 to 7.98) |
Each row reports coefficients from a regression of the specified dependent variable on winning the car lottery, controlling for a cubic function in lottery entry date. Negative values imply fewer transit rides, fewer minutes daily walking/bicycling, and lower weight in winners than in losers. Number of individuals=937 (760 for weight regressions).
