Supersizing Supercenters? The Impact of Wal-Mart Supercenters on Body Mass Index and Obesity (2011, background): “Ewing et al. (2003), Giles-Corti et al. (2003), and Frank et al. (2004) show that increases in automobile-oriented infrastructure are associated with higher obesity, while Eid et al. (2008) and Plantinga and Bernell (2007) find that at least some of this association can be attributed to reverse…”
Recommended community strategies and measurements to prevent obesity in the United States. (2009, background): “A cross-sectional study conducted in Atlanta, GA indicated that odds of obesity declined as mixed land use increased (118).”
An ecological approach to creating active living communities. (2006, background): “Multidisciplinary teams are now collaborating routinely, and studies have emerged linking the walkability of neighborhoods or sprawl of regions with physical activity (25), obesity (21, 23), and risk of chronic diseases (21, 78).”
Factors influencing travel mode choice among families with young children (aged 0–4): a review of the literature (2017, background): “dent parents and children lose opportunities to gain incidental physical activity, otherwise gained through active travel contributing, to worsening health outcomes (Anderson & Butcher, 2006; Frank et al., 2004).”
Stepping towards causation: do built environments or neighborhood and travel preferences explain physical activity, driving, and obesity? (2007, methodology): “Two sub-samples were drawn from the 2001/2002 Strategies for Metropolitan Atlanta’s Regional Transportation and Air Quality (SMARTRAQ) study of 8069 households (Frank et al., 2004).”
Deconstructing development density: Quality, quantity and price effects on household non-work travel (2008, methodology): “use population density or net residential density in an ad hoc fashion, either to represent several hypothesized effects simultaneously or merely as a control variable without clear justification (e.g., Boarnet and Greenwald 2000; Frank et al. 2004; Giuliano and Narayan 2003; Naess 2006; Schimek 199”
Walking, cycling, and obesity rates in Europe, North America, and Australia. (2008, background): “Frank et al.(6) studied 10,878 people in the Atlanta area and showed that land-use mix had a strong association with obesity, with each quartile increase in land-use mix yielding a 12.”
Place value: place quality and its impact on health, social, economic and environmental outcomes (2018, background): “…age as a surrogate for walkability Walkable street environments (in pre 1973 environments) increased walking with associated health benefits frank, andresen, and schmid (2004) Mixed use, travel and obesity by ethnic group increase in land-use mix increased walking and reduction in…”
Built environments and obesity in disadvantaged populations. (2009, background): “Frank (71, 75), Kerr (72) Atlanta, Georgia 13,065 adults and 3,161 children GIS: 1-km buffers Physical activity (walking), body mass index By individual education, income, race By individual education, income, race”
