Age stratified 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) | |
| Individuals aged ≥40 | |||
| Weekly transit rides | −2.18 (−4.13 to −0.24) | −2.1 (−3.35 to −0.85) | −2.02 (−5.16 to 1.12) |
| Minutes daily walking/bicycling | 12.1 (−4.66 to 28.86) | −2.59 (−12.12 to 6.94) | −17.29 (−36.52 to 1.95) |
| Weight (kg) | 1.29 (−5.07 to 7.65) | 3.24 (−0.31 to 6.8) | 5.2 (−2.59 to 12.99) |
| Individuals aged ≥50 | |||
| Weekly transit rides | −2.88 (−5.57 to −0.19) | −1.9 (−3.61 to −0.18) | −0.91 (−5.45 to 3.63) |
| Minutes daily walking/bicycling | 27.4 (−0.28 to 55.08) | −1.19 (−13.76 to 11.38) | −29.78 (−54.08 to −5.49) |
| Weight (kg) | −1 (−8.4 to 6.4) | 4.67 (0.04 to 9.31) | 10.34 (0.49 to 20.19) |
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, and limiting the estimation sample to individuals aged 40 or more or 50 or more. Negative values imply fewer transit rides, fewer minutes daily walking/bicycling, and lower weight in winners than in losers. Number of individuals aged 40 or more=462 (378 for weight regressions); number of individuals aged 50 or more=245 (193 for weight regressions).
