The data were collected from 8185 adults. The Neighbourhood Environment Walkability-abbreviated scale was used to assess perceived urban environment attributes. Obesity indices considered were body mass index, waist circumference, neck circumference, a body shape index and waist-to-height ratio. The perception of a more and better land use mix-diversity (\u03b2 \u2212\u00a00.44; 95% CI \u2212\u00a00.59, \u2212\u00a00.28), traffic safety (\u2212\u00a00.39; \u2212\u00a00.66, \u2212\u00a00.12), and safety from crime (\u2212\u00a00.36; \u2212\u00a00.57, \u2212\u00a00.15) was associated with lower body mass index across the entire sample. Land use mix-diversity (\u2212\u00a01.21; \u2212\u00a01.60, \u2212\u00a00.82), street connectivity (\u2212\u00a00.26; \u2212\u00a00.37, \u2212\u00a00.15), and traffic safety (\u2212\u00a00.79; \u2212\u00a01.47, \u2212\u00a00.12) were negatively associated with waist circumference. Land use mix-diversity (\u2212\u00a00.11; \u2212\u00a00.20, \u2212\u00a00.03), land use mix-access (\u2212\u00a00.23; \u2212\u00a00.34, 0.12), walking\/cycling facilities (\u2212\u00a00.22; \u2212\u00a00.37, \u2212\u00a00.08), and safety from crime (\u2212\u00a00.27; \u2212\u00a00.42, \u2212\u00a00.12) were negatively associated with neck circumference. No associations between perceived urban environment attributes and a body shape index were found. Land use mix-diversity (\u2212\u00a00.01; \u2212\u00a00.02, \u2212\u00a00.01), aesthetics (\u2212\u00a00.02; \u2212\u00a00.03, \u2212\u00a00.01), and safety from crime (\u2212\u00a00.02; \u2212\u00a00.04, \u2212\u00a00.01) were associated with waist-to-height ratio.
