OR odds ratio, β regression coefficient, CI confidence interval
(1)Multilevel logistic regression model (country as 2nd level) with transport-related physical activity time (0 = <10 min/week, 1 ≥ 10 min/week) as dependent variable, adjusted for sex, age, and socioeconomic level
(2)Multilevel linear regression model (country as 2nd level) with transport-related physical activity time (LOG10 (min/week)) as dependent variable in participants with transport-related physical activity ≥10 min/week, adjusted for sex, age, socioeconomic level
(3)higher scores indicate perception of higher land use mix-diversity, higher land use mix-access, more walking/cycling facilities, better aesthetics, and more safety from crime
(4)higher scores indicate greater proximity
(5)4-point scale: strongly disagree (1), disagree (2), agree (3), strongly agree (4)
