Table 4.

Adjusted models for the association between barriers to physical activity and physical activity

Transport-related physical activity Physical activity level (Negative binomial model) Odds of being physically inactive (Logit model)
Barriers to physical activity eβ (e.95% CI) p-value eβ (e.95% CI) p-value
Lack of footpaths, cycle lanes, or parks 0.79 (0.66—0.94) 0.007
Cost 1.33 (1.04—1.69) 0.021
Safety concerns (e.g., street lighting, traffic) 1.23 (1.01—1.51) 0.044
Pollution – Haze 0.55 (0.41—0.73)  < 0.001
Leisure-related physical activity Physical activity level (Negative binomial model) Odds of being physically inactive (Logit model)
Barriers to physical activity eβ (e.95% CI) p-value eβ (e.95% CI) p-value
The weather (e.g., wet and hot) 0.85 (0.75—0.98) 0.022 0.69 (0.53—0.91) 0.009
Lack of time 0.73 (0.62—0.86)  < 0.001
Age 0.82 (0.67—0.99) 0.042 1.43 (1.02—2.01) 0.037
Safety concerns (e.g., street lighting, traffic) 1.29 (1.08—1.54) 0.004
Cost 1.58 (1.13—2.22) 0.008
Feeling tired 1.85(1.40—2.46)  < 0.001
