Low walkability

1. Low walkability increases mortality in humans (aHR 2.23 (95% CI 1.10 to 4.54)).

   “Compared with residents of the most walkable neighbourhoods, those in the least walkable (aHR 2.23 (95% CI 1.10 to 4.54)), below-average walkable (aHR 2.10 (95% CI 1.08 to 4.07)) and above-average walkable areas (aHR 2.33 (95% CI 1.24 to 4.39)) had significantly higher CRC mortality risk.”

1. Low walkability raises the risk of colorectal cancer in humans (aHR 2.42 (95% CI 1.09 to 3.56)).

   “Living in a low-walkability neighbourhood was associated with a higher risk of CRC (aHR 2.42 (95% CI 1.09 to 3.56)) among residents in the second-lowest nSES quintile”
