Table 2.

Estimated associations between transport walking and built environment exposures within specific ring-shaped areas and buffer areas, based on longitudinal data from MESA, 2000–2010.

N = 3913 Outcome: transport walking minutes per week
Ring-shaped areas (Rm - Rk) Buffer areas (0 - Rk)
Exposure buffer ranges (km): Rm - Rk Exp(10*β¯(rm;rk)) 95% C.I. buffer ranges (km): 0 - Rk Exp(10*β¯(0;rk)) 95% C.I.

Note: the coefficient 0.022 means a 2.2% change (over the 10 years of follow-up) in walking minutes per week for an additional 10 destinations within a 0.5 to 1 kilometer distance from the residence. Each model adjusts covariates: age, gender, race, education, per capita income, BMI, self; rated health, arthritis last 2 weeks, car ownership, marital status, employment status, population density in 1-mile residential buffer, street connectivity at 1-mile residential buffer.
