• Urbanization and its implications for food and farming (2010, background): “Urbanization is also associated with dietary shifts towards more processed and pre-prepared foods, in part in response to long working hours and, for a proportion of the urban population, with reduced physical activity (Popkin 2001; de Haen et al. 2003).”

• Social dynamics of obesity (2007, neutral): “One model that is often employed for predictive purposes is the weight-linear model of Schofield et al. (1985). Both CGS and Lakdawalla and Philipson (2002) adopt linear specifications, and CGS employ specific coefficients from the Schofield study.”
• Assessing food value chain pathways, linkages and impacts for better nutrition of vulnerable groups (2017, background): “Even as poor people in developing countries become less poor, the phenomenon of ‘nutrition transition’ means that diets change but do not necessarily improve in nutritional quality (Drewnowski and Popkin, 1997; Popkin, 2001).”
