BEPAS 2.5 Example

In the next steps, we will compare BMI and “moderate-to-vigorous physical activity” which was measured using an accelerometer (MVPA_acc) between 2 groups of walkability.

• Walkability: Regions were divided into two categories of walkability (high/low) based on:

  • Land use mix diversity
  • Residential density
  • Street connectivity

Remark: In exercise 2.8 we will create the factor Walkability (a categorical variable with 2 categories) based on the variable WALK.
