Although residential context is linked to obesity risk, less is known about how the additional places where we work, shop, play, and worship may influence that risk. We employ longitudinal data from the Los Angeles Family and Neighborhood Survey (LAFANS) to derive time-weighted measures of exposure to home and activity space contexts to ascertain the impacts of each on obesity risk for adults. Results show that increased exposure to socioeconomic disadvantage in the residential neighborhood significantly increases obesity risk, and although activity space disadvantage does not directly influence obesity, it reduces the association between residential disadvantage and obesity. We further explore the ways in which residential and activity space disadvantages may interact to influence obesity and discuss the value of integrating personal exposure and activity space contexts to better understand how places contribute to individual health risks.
尽管居住环境与肥胖风险相关，但对于我们工作、购物、娱乐和礼拜的其他场所如何影响这种风险，我们了解得较少。我们利用来自洛杉矶家庭与邻里调查（LAFANS）的纵向数据，得出家庭和活动空间环境暴露的时间加权指标，以确定两者对成年人肥胖风险的影响。结果表明，居住社区社会经济劣势暴露的增加显著增加肥胖风险，虽然活动空间劣势不会直接影响肥胖，但它会降低居住劣势与肥胖之间的关联。我们进一步探讨居住和活动空间劣势可能相互作用影响肥胖的方式，并讨论整合个人暴露和活动空间环境以更好理解场所如何导致个体健康风险的价值。
