Note: OR = Odds Ratio; CI = Confidence Interval; RERI = Relative Excess Risk due to Interaction; All odds ratios presented in this table are adjusted for age, race, gender, individual income, individual education, mobility aid use (Model 7); Table presentation is following the recommendations from Knol and VanderWeele (2012).

^aY=1 represents the number of participants reporting going into the neighborhood less than one time per week, Y=0 represents the number of participants reporting going into the neighborhood one to seven times per week

^bOdds ratios obtained from separate, stratified models among participants reporting severity of sidewalk problems as: not really a problem (N= 5,653), minor problem (N=2,363), somewhat serious problem (N=959), very serious problem (N=888). Adjusted odds ratios of the relationship between mobility aid use and going into the neighborhood less than one time per week compared to one to seven times per week reported above.

^cRelative Excess Risk due to Interaction (RERI) represents the differences in differences in odds ratios. RERI can be more precisely written as: OR₁₁-(OR₁₀+OR₀₁-1), OR₁₂-(OR₁₀+OR₀₂-1), OR₁₃-(OR₁₀+OR₀₃-1) for minor, somewhat serious, and very serious sidewalk problems, respectively. Where mobility aid use = i (0 = never using mobility aid, 1 = ever using mobility aid) and sidewalk problems = j (0 = Not really a problem, 1 = Minor problem, 2 = Somewhat serious problem, 3 = Very serious problem) for all OR_ij.

^dRatio of Odds Ratios can be written as: OR₁₁/(OR₁₀×OR₀₁), OR₁₂/(OR₁₀×OR₀₂), OR₁₃/(OR₁₀×OR₀₃) for minor, somewhat serious, and very serious sidewalk problems, respectively. Where mobility aid use = i (0 = never using mobility aid, 1 = ever using mobility aid) and sidewalk problems = j (0 = Not really a problem, 1 = Minor problem, 2 = Somewhat serious problem, 3 = Very serious problem) for all OR_ij.

^eOdds ratio obtained from separate, stratified models among participants reporting mobility aid use: never (N= 8,567), ever (N= 1,296). Adjusted odds ratios of the relationship between severity of sidewalk problems and going into the neighborhood less than one time per week compared to one to seven times per week reported above.
