- Residuals of MVPA, TC/HDL and TG were not normally distributed and were, therefore, log transformed, this table presents log transformed data. italics regression coefficients and 95% confidence intervals are statistically significant p < 0.05
- IV Independent variable, DV dependent variable, MV mediating variable, a-path association between population density and mediating variable, b-path association between mediating variable and blood lipid outcome, c-path association between population density and blood lipid outcome, c′-path association between population density and blood lipid outcome adjusted for mediating variables, indirect effect indirect effect of population density on blood lipid outcome through mediating variables, β unstandardized regression coefficient, 95% CI 95% confidence interval, BCI bootstrapped confidence interval, SB sedentary behavior expressed per 10 min, MVPA moderate to vigorous physical activity expressed per 10 min, TC/HDL cholesterol ratio total cholesterol/high density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio, LDL low density lipoprotein cholesterol, TG triglycerides
