The obesity epidemic in the United States--gender, age, socioeconomic, racial/ethnic, and geographic characteristics: a systematic review and meta-regression analysis. (2007, background): “The availability of supermarkets has been associated with more healthful diets, higher vegetable and fruit consumption, and lower rates of obesity (82, 83).”
Built environments and obesity in disadvantaged populations. (2009, background): “For example, data from a multisite cohort study (35) indicate that proximity to a supermarket is associated with less overweight, obesity, and hypertension, whereas proximity to grocery or convenience stores was associated with more overweight, obesity, hypertension, and diabetes (36).”
Socioeconomic Disparities in Health Behaviors (2010, background): “Similarly, Morland et al. (2006) report a lower prevalence of obesity and overweight in neighborhoods with greater access to supermarkets.”
Associations of the local food environment with diet quality--a comparison of assessments based on surveys and geographic information systems: the multi-ethnic study of atherosclerosis. (2008, background): “Many investigators have characterized food environments by counting the number of supermarkets in the areas in which study participants live (1, 9, 14, 15, 35).”
Food store availability and neighborhood characteristics in the United States. (2007, background): “The availability of supermarkets has been associated with more fruit and vegetable intake, more healthful diets, and lower rates of obesity (Morland et al., 2002a, 2006; Laraia et al., 2004).”
The local food environment and diet: A systematic review (2012, background): “, 1986), just as convenience stores are labeled detrimental (Pearce et al. 2008; Morland et al. 2006), on a practical level, it is easy to see why the expected associations with dietary health do not always hold.”
The social determinants of health: coming of age. (2011, background): “Neighborhoods can influence health through their physical characteristics, such as air and water quality and proximity to facilities that produce or store hazardous substances; exposures to lead paint, mold, dust, or pest infestation in housing; access to nutritious foods and safe places to exercise”
A Systematic Review of Food Deserts, 1966-2007 (2009, background): “In the United States, increased access to supermarkets is associated with lower prevalence of overweight and obesity (64), improved fruit and vegetable consumption, and better diet quality among African Americans (13,65), low-income households (66), and pregnant women (67).”
