Objective

To evaluate sex-specific and age-specific associations of active living environments (ALEs) with premature cardiometabolic mortality.

Design

Population-based retrospective cohort study.

Setting

Residential neighbourhoods (1000-metre circular buffers from the centroids of dissemination areas) across Canada for which the Canadian ALE Measure was derived, based on intersection density, points of interest and dwelling density.

Participants
