Note: Categories: Urban/rural: 1 = Main urban area; 2 = Secondary urban area; 3 = Minor urban area; and 4 = Rural area. Environmental variables: quintiles (1 = best access, 5 = worst access); Deprivation (NZdep) (1 = least deprived, 5 = most deprived).
All bolded values are statistically significant at the 0.05 level.
