  1. SE, standard error; ICC, intracluster correlation coefficient.
  2. *Model 1: Null model; Model 2: Model 1 plus adjustment for age, education and marital status; Model 3: Model 2 plus adjustment smoking, alcohol consumption and leisure-time physical activity (fruits and vegetables models) or fruits and vegetables consumption (leisure-time physical activity models); Model 4: Model 3 plus adjustment for neighborhood socioeconomic class.
  3. Proportion of explained variance (%): corresponds to the proportion of between-neighborhood variance that could be explained by neighborhood selection variables, possible confounders and neighborhood socioeconomic class compared to Model 1. For instance, among women 15.9% of the neighborhood variance was explained by neighborhood selection variables: (7521.8-6328.1)/7521.8x100.
