“…28,29 Studies have generally shown an association between living in a neighborhood in close proximity to certain types of food outlets and the availability of healthy food options, dietary quality, dietary intake, and risk of overweight. 30–33 However, there is a gap in understanding how sugar-sweetened beverage availability in various food environmental settings (home, school, neighborhoods) are linked with adolescent sugar-sweetened beverage consumption. 28,34,35 …”

Objectives To examine the association between sugar-sweetened beverage availability at home and sugar-sweetened beverage consumption, and to evaluate whether this association was consistent across school and school neighborhood sugar-sweetened beverage availability. Study design Secondary data analyses were performed from the 2014 cross-sectional, Internet-based Family Life, Activity, Sun, Health, and Eating (FLASHE) study of 1494 adolescents (age 12–17 years). Ordinal logistic regression analyses were conducted to examine the association between sugar-sweetened beverage availability in the home and adolescents’ frequency of sugar-sweetened beverage consumption (nondaily, <1; daily, 1-<2; daily, ≥2), adjusting for adolescent age, sex, race, and body mass index and parent marital status and housing insecurity. Stratified ordinal logistic regression analyses were used to examine the associations by school and school neighborhood sugar-sweetened beverage availability. Results One-third (32.6%) of adolescents were nondaily consumers of sugar-sweetened beverages, 33.9% consumed 1-<2 sugar-sweetened beverages daily, and 33.5% consumed ≥2 sugar-sweetened beverages daily. Almost one-half (44.4%) reported that sugar-sweetened beverages were often or always available in the home. Frequency of sugar-sweetened beverage availability at home was associated with greater sugar-sweetened beverage consumption (OR, 2.88; 95% CI, 2.86–2.89 for rarely/sometimes available at home; OR. 5.62; 95% CI, 5.60–5.64 for often/always available at home). Similar associations were found regardless of the availability of sugar-sweetened beverages in the adolescent’s school or school neighborhood. Conclusions Sugar-sweetened beverage availability in the home was associated with adolescent sugar-sweetened beverage consumption, regardless of sugar-sweetened beverage availability in other settings, and may be a key target for obesity prevention efforts.

“…29 A recent review by Minaker and colleagues 30 particularly highlights the lack of research on the consumer food environment in Canada, with only one paper that used measures of the consumer food environment to study the association between food environment and health outcomes. While store proximity and availability in one's neighbourhood have been linked with diet quality, studies have reported inconsistent results, 31 suggesting that physical accessibility alone might not be sufficient to explain dietary habits. The availability and affordability of the foods within those stores may be contributing to the association between food store access and food store choice, eating behaviours and health outcomes.…”

“…Inagami et al 46 found in a study conducted in the Los Angeles area of California, USA, that BMI was higher (A) where persons frequented grocery stores located in more disadvantaged neighbourhoods, which usually have higher availability of relatively inexpensive, energy-dense foods and (B) among those who owned cars and travelled farther to their grocery stores. However, other studies reveal inconsistencies, with mixed findings across various neighbourhood food retail contexts which may be due to the heterogeneity in defining neighbourhoods using SES 47 48 and methodological limitations in measuring the inter-relatedness of neighbourhood residence, determinants of purchasing choices within and outside of the residential neighbourhood and issues such as dietary preferences. 49 In our study, PAL, motorised transport and diet were not adjusted for in the regression models.…”

ObjectiveTo derive estimates of the associations between measures of the retail food environments and mean body mass index (BMI) in Jamaica, a middle-income country with increasing prevalence of obesity.DesignCross-sectional study.SettingData from the Jamaica Health and Lifestyle Survey 2008 (JHLS II), a nationally representative population-based survey that recruited persons at their homes over a 4-month period from all 14 parishes and 113 neighbourhoods defined as enumeration districts.ParticipantsA subsample of 2529 participants aged 18–74 years from the JHLS II who completed interviewer-administered surveys, provided anthropometric measurements and whose addresses were geocoded.Primary outcome measureMean BMI, calculated as weight divided by height squared (kg/m2).ResultsThere was significant clustering across neighbourhoods for mean BMI (intraclass correlation coefficients=4.16%). Fully adjusted models revealed higher mean BMI among women, with further distance away from supermarkets (β=0.12; 95% CI 8.20×10−3, 0.24; p=0.036) and the absence of supermarkets within a 1 km buffer zone (β=1.36; 95% CI 0.20 to 2.52; p=0.022). A 10 km increase in the distance from a supermarket was associated with a 1.7 kg/m2 higher mean BMI (95% CI 0.03 to 0.32; p=0.020) in the middle class. No associations were detected with fast-food outlets or interaction by urbanicity.ConclusionsHigher mean BMI in Jamaicans may be partially explained by the presence of supermarkets and markets and differ by sex and social class. National efforts to curtail obesity in middle-income countries should consider interventions focused at the neighbourhood level that target the location and density of supermarkets and markets and consider sex and social class-specific factors that may be influencing the associations.
