Neighborhood walkability, neighborhood social health, and self-selection among U.S. adults.

Objectives: Neighborhood walkability is favorably related to multiple physical health outcomes, but associations with social health are less clear. Present analyses examined how neighborhood walkability was related to neighborhood social health and explored the potential confounding role of neighborhood self-selection.

Methods: Cross-sectional data were analyzed for 1745 adults, ages 20-66, recruited from two US regions.
