  1. Adjusted for distance to school, population density, grade, sex, and number of cars owned
  2. Odds ratios were calculated relative to “less frequent walkers” (n = 92), except for everyday walkers (reference group) versus frequent walkers
  3. CCTV, closed-circuit television; CI, confidence interval; COVID-19, coronavirus disease 2019; NT, new town; OR, odds ratio
