Understanding and representing 'place' in health research: a relational approach. (2007, background): “…related pathways concerned with neighbourhood physical accessibility to food: access to foods for home consumption from grocery stores and supermarkets and access to ready-made food from take-aways and restaurants for home and out-of-home consumption (see Cummins & Macintyre, 2006, for a review).”
The built environment and obesity. (2007, background): “Therefore, the contextual mechanisms that influence obesity rates may not be universal across developed nations (90).”
Socioeconomic Disparities in Health Behaviors (2010, background): “Research from the United States and Canada (see Cummins & Macintyre 2006 for a review) finds associations between obesity and food quality, prices, and availability in a community.”
Obesogenic environments: exploring the built and food environments (2006, background): “The links between the retail environment and diet have been suggested to be observational (42) and therefore merit further investigation.”
On Places Lost and Places Regained: Reflections on the Alternative Food Geography and Sustainable Regional Development (2009, background): “Another expression of malnutrition is the increase in so-called ‘food deserts’ (Wrigley et al., 2002; Cummins & Macintyre, 2006), i.e. impoverished urban neighbourhoods that lack supermarkets and grocery stores, but boast dozens of fast food and snack shops.”
A Systematic Review of Food Deserts, 1966-2007 (2009, background): “The fact that evidence from different countries varies widely suggests national and regional differences in planning regulation and law, patterns of residential segregation, and differing local social and cultural environments (9,72).”
Potential environmental determinants of physical activity in adults: a systematic review (2007, background): “Research on the topic of nutrition shows associations may very well differ between countries (63).”
Scared straight? Fear-appeal anti-smoking campaigns, risk, self-efficacy and addiction (2009, background): “However, this emphasis on individual responsibility has tended to ignore the ‘complex social and physical contexts in which individual behavioural decisions are made’ (Cummins and Macintyre 2006, p. 100).”
The obesity epidemic in the United States--gender, age, socioeconomic, racial/ethnic, and geographic characteristics: a systematic review and meta-regression analysis. (2007, background): “Differential rates of available local area physical fitness facilities, restaurants, and types of food stores by neighborhood characteristics may help explain why obesity does not affect all population groups equally (79, 80).”
Food store availability and neighborhood characteristics in the United States. (2007, background): “Differential rates of local area food store type availability by neighborhood characteristics may contribute to the fact that the problem of obesity does not affect all populations equally (Diez Roux et al., 1999; Cummins and Macintyre, 2006).”
Food Security (2018, neutral): “There is an emerging body of literature describing food availability and access variables, such as density and location of food stores, product availability and price, portion sizes and exposure to marketing.(16, 19-22) Within this literature there has been particular interest in Australia and inter”
