P values for GHQ12 Likert scale were obtained using a generalized linear regression and were adjusted for education, income, and type of residential area. P values for GHQ binary scale (cut-off point 15/16) were calculated using a logistic regression analysis. Odds ratios were adjusted for education, income, occupation, type of residential area, and number of years living in the current khoroo were calculated separately for each neighborhood environment quality
PE quality of physical environment, DE quality of designed environment, NC quality of neighborhood community, PS quality of public safety, NE quality of natural environment, CS quality of citizen services, B standardized coefficient, SE standard error, OR odds ratio, CI confidential interval
