  1. Corrections to Table 3.

    Chinmoy Sarkar, The University of Hong Kong

    5 December 2014

    The authors will like to apologize for their oversight in the Table 3 of the paper and incorporate the following modifications:

    • The term '95% Confidence Interval' is replaced by '95% Credible Interval' in Bayesian context.
    • The errors in the reported 95% Cr. I. owing to oversight in readjustment after converting from logit to odds ratios have been corrected so that the corrected version of Table 3 reads as below:

    RXX. represents the 'row number' of the Table 3. for reference and comparison across columns.

    Results are expressed as odds ratio, 95% credible interval and p-value for the logistic regression. All models have been adjusted for individual level variables of age, alcohol consumption, social class, education and prevalence of chronic vascular morbidities

    T: Tertile (T1, T2, T3 represents the lower, middle and upper tertiles respectively)

    *p < 0.10; **p < 0.05

    Model 1 comprises of built environmental morphometrics; Model 2 included neighbourhood deprivation captured by six domains of Welsh index of multiple deprivation and natural environment captured by standard deviation in slope and mean greenness index NDVI; Model 3 indicates the fully adjusted model.
