There remains a lack of consistent evidence linking food environments with eating behaviours. Studies to date have largely ignored the way different individuals interact with their local food environment and have primarily focussed on exposures within the residential neighbourhood without consideration of exposures around the workplace, for example. In this study we firstly examine whether associations between the residential food environment and eating behaviours differ by employment status and, secondly, whether food environments near employed women's workplaces are more strongly associated with dietary behaviours than food environments near home. Employment status did not modify the associations between residential food environments and eating behaviours, however results showed that having access to healthy foods near the workplace was associated with healthier food consumption. Policies focused on supportive environments should consider commercial areas as well as residential neighbourhoods.
目前仍缺乏一致的证据将食物环境与饮食行为联系起来。迄今为止的研究在很大程度上忽视了不同个体与当地食物环境相互作用的方式，主要关注居住社区内的暴露情况，而没有考虑工作场所周围的暴露情况，例如。在这项研究中，我们首先检验了居住食物环境与饮食行为之间的关联是否因就业状况而异，其次，就业妇女工作场所附近的食物环境与家庭附近的食物环境相比，是否与饮食行为更密切相关。就业状况并没有改变居住食物环境与饮食行为之间的关联，然而结果表明，在工作场所附近获得健康食品与更健康的食物消费有关。以支持性环境为重点的政策应考虑商业区和居民区。
