“…Primary measures of potentially obesogenic BE exposures were residential unit density (derived from KC tax assessor data) and population density (derived from American Community Survey data), which have been used in prior studies as proxies for walkability and have been associated with obesity prevalence [ 6 , 27 32 ]. A recent KC study found that residential unit density was the most predictive BE metric of walking bouts [ 6 ]. Moreover, in our sample, residential unit density and population density were highly correlated (r=0.92) indicating that both BE measures may be good proxies for walkability.…”

“…However, the observed associations have been mixed and not always consistent [ 1 , 5 ]. In general, BE variables were more closely linked to physical activity (PA) measures [ 1 , 6 , 7 ] than to diet quality [ 5 , 8 , 9 ]. Whereas the walkability of neighborhoods was consistently linked to lower obesity prevalence [ 1 , 10 , 11 ], the density of food sources (e.g.…”

“…With the near ubiquity of GPS-equipped smartphones, more research can be done to investigate the actual walking behavior and movement patterns of pedestrians (Marra et al, 2019;Yamagata et al, 2019;Mooney et al, 2020). GPS apps can be used by pedestrians to identify and flag issues seen on the streets that affect their access and walkability, creating a real-time feedback mechanism that mitigates errors and omissions from memories and identifies the unstructured routes and shortcuts actually taken by pedestrians (Lue and Miller, 2019).…”
