To evaluate the multidimensional influence of food environments on food choice, dietary quality, and diet-related health and identify critical gaps necessary to develop effective population interventions that influence food choice.
Multicomponent interventions that interact with multiple layers of the food environment show limited but consistent effects on dietary behaviors and may have wider and substantive population-level reach with greater incorporation of validated, holistic measurement tools. Opportunities to use smartphone technology to measure multiple components of the food environment will facilitate future interventions, particularly as food environments expand into online settings and interact with consumers in novel ways to shape food choice. While studies suggest that all dimensions of the food environment influence diet and health outcomes, robust and consistent measurements of food environments that integrate objective and subjective components are essential for developing stronger evidence needed to shift public policies.
评估食品环境对食物选择、饮食质量和饮食相关健康的多维影响，并确定开发影响食物选择的有效人群干预措施所需的关键空白。
与食品环境的多个层面相互作用的多组分干预措施对饮食行为的影响有限，但较为一致，并且随着更广泛地采用经过验证的整体测量工具，可能具有更广泛和实质性的人群覆盖范围。利用智能手机技术来衡量食品环境的多个组成部分的机会将有助于未来的干预措施，特别是随着食品环境扩展到在线环境并以新颖的方式与消费者互动以影响食物选择。虽然研究表明食品环境的所有方面都影响饮食和健康结果，但为了制定更有力的证据来改变公共政策，需要对整合客观和主观成分的食品环境进行稳健和一致的测量。
