  1. aThe association of each environmental predictor with PA domains was assessed in a separate model
  2. bAll analyses are adjusted for age, sex, season of measurement, household income and nationality
  3. cThe total score of the perceived environment is based on the tertiles of each dimension (1 for the lowest tertile and 3 for the highest tertile)
