This study sought to describe the food retail environment and its use in a deprived urban area in Scotland by mapping all food outlets and determining where residents do their main food shopping as well as investigating the availability of fresh fruit and vegetables (F&V) (as an indicator of healthy eating) and takeaway food.
Cross-sectional study.
The food retail environment, the number, size and food availability of all food outlets, was mapped in Viewpark, a small community located to the east of Glasgow. Subsequently a validated questionnaire was used to determined food shopping usage and habits.
There was high availability of common fresh fruit and vegetables (F&V) and very high availability of fast food outlets. Only 9% of the sample shopped solely at local food outlets within Viewpark whilst 91% shopped at a large supermarket outside Viewpark (n = 106). Walking was significantly negatively associated (B = -3.555, P = 0.008) with shopping outside the community. The majority of respondents (80%) reported buying F&V weekly and 57% purchased takeaways at least once a week - these individuals were employed, over 45 years old and had at least one child.
The use of the local retail environment in a deprived community is influenced by car accessibility.
本研究通过绘制所有食品店的位置图,并确定居民的主要食品购买地点,以及调查新鲜水果和蔬菜(F&V)(作为健康饮食的指标)和外卖食品的供应情况,描述苏格兰贫困城市地区的食品零售环境及其使用情况。
横断面研究。
在位于格拉斯哥东部的小社区 Viewpark 中,对食品零售环境、所有食品店的数量、大小和食品供应情况进行了映射。随后,使用经过验证的问卷来确定食品购物的使用和习惯。
常见的新鲜水果和蔬菜(F&V)供应充足,快餐店供应非常充足。只有 9%的样本完全在 Viewpark 内的当地食品店购物,而 91%的样本在 Viewpark 外的大型超市购物(n=106)。步行与社区外购物呈显著负相关(B=-3.555,P=0.008)。大多数受访者(80%)报告每周购买 F&V,57%的人每周至少购买一次外卖食品——这些人是有工作的,年龄超过 45 岁,并且至少有一个孩子。
在贫困社区中,当地零售环境的使用受到汽车可达性的影响。
