We reviewed the literature that examines the association between the built environment and diet. The MEDLINE electronic database was searched. Eligible articles must have been published between 2000 and 2013, in the English language, and must have been conducted among a population-based sample of adults older than 18 years of age. Twenty-four articles met the inclusion criteria. The majority of studies (over 70%) focused on fruit and vegetable consumption. Most studies (88%) found a statistically significant relationship between diet and some aspect of the built environment. However, the results across studies were not consistent. These inconsistencies may be attributable to methodological challenges, including differing definitions of neighbourhood, and inconsistent approaches to measuring built environment features and diet. In order to explore the complex relationship between built environment and people's dietary behaviour, research design needs to be improved, and the items people actually buy need to be examined. In addition, more research is needed to investigate the causal pathways linking environmental factors and dietary intake.
我们回顾了研究建筑环境与饮食之间关联的文献。检索了MEDLINE电子数据库。符合条件的文章必须于2000年至2013年期间发表，为英文，且研究对象必须是基于18岁以上成年人的人群样本。24篇文章符合纳入标准。大多数研究（超过70%）聚焦于水果和蔬菜的消费。大多数研究（88%）发现饮食与建筑环境的某些方面存在统计学上的显著关系。然而，各项研究的结果并不一致。这些不一致可能归因于方法学上的挑战，包括邻里的不同定义，以及测量建筑环境特征和饮食的方法不一致。为了探究建筑环境与人们饮食行为之间的复杂关系，需要改进研究设计，并对人们实际购买的物品进行考察。此外，还需要更多研究来调查连接环境因素与饮食摄入的因果途径。
