Data displayed are median (IQR) or n (%)
aExercise facility availability was defined as count of exercise facilities in a 1000 m street network buffer around each portal, and divided into high, medium and low tertiles
bA subgroup of n=213,719 individuals (n=88,224 men and n=125,495 women) was included in the obesity analysis
