• Accelerating Progress in Obesity Prevention: Solving the Weight of the Nation (2012, neutral): “Commonly cited examples are communities where streets and roads are designed in ways that do not permit pedestrian access, and food outlets or vending machines where all of the choices are relatively unhealthy (Rahman et al., 2011; Sallis and Glanz, 2006).”
• 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”
• Walking to school: Community design and child and parent barriers (2011, result): “Thus some evidence links separate walkability features to walking among children (Sallis & Glanz, 2006), but mixed results suggest more research is needed.”
• THE ECONOMIC CAUSES OF OBESITY: A SURVEY (2008, positive): “Sallis and Glanz (2006) explain how various changes in the US built environment have promoted sedentary lifestyles and less healthful diets.”
