  1. Note. NA not applicable. a p<.05; b p<.01; c p<.001; eb = antilogarithm of regression coefficient; 95% CI 95% confidence intervals; p = p-value. The antilogarithm of the regression coefficient is interpreted as the proportional increase (if >1.00) or decrease (if <1.00) in the outcome associated with a 1 unit increase in the predictor. All models adjusted for age, gender, educational attainment, neighborhood socio-economic status, neighborhood clustering effects, neighborhood safety, and infrastructure attributes.
