Interestingly, we found that accounting for walkability in analyses of takeaways and vice versa led to more consistent findings. This suggests the importance of accounting for multiple aspects of the environment that are relevant to the same outcome and are highly related to one another.

This might be a red herring, but do more walkable suburbs have less fast/takeaway food?

If so I wonder why.

Higher walkability was associated with more takeaway availability. This is presumably because both are more likely in more dense/urban areas.

Yeah, that's what I would assume. Getting more takeaway goes hand in hand with having lots of options close by.

Which makes it confounding that some places have less. That's what I took from your original post.
