^cadjusted for all predictor variables listed in this table
^dNeighbourhood Environment Walkability Scale—abbreviated (NEWS-A) Subscale F: Aesthetics (four-point scale); reverse coded so that higher score indicates better walkability
^eTotal number; measured with the Functional Comorbidity Index
^fAssessed as part of the 4-m walk (usual pace) component of the Short Physical Performance Battery
^gVery much like to walk (5 on a 5-point scale) vs. less than very much liking to walk (1–4 on a 5-point scale)
^hAssessed by the Ambulatory Self-Confidence Questionnaire
ⁱ5-item measure of social cohesion and trust
^j5-item measure of neighbourhood physical and social disorder; reverse coded so that higher score indicates better walkability (less disorder)
