Proximity to Fast Food Outlets and Supermarkets as Predictors of Fast Food Dining Frequency

摘要

BackgroundThis study used cross-sectional data to test the independent relationship of (1) proximity to chain fast food outlets and (2) proximity to full-service supermarkets on the frequency of meal-time dining at fast food outlets in two major urban areas, using three approaches to define “access.” Interactions between presence of a supermarket and presence of fast food outlets as predictors of fast food dining were also tested.
