Food environments are directly linked to diets and health outcomes such as overweight, obesity, and noncommunicable diseases. The digitalization of food environments is becoming a central issue in public health, yet little is known about this emerging field. We performed a systematic scoping review to map the research on the digital food environment and investigate how the eight dimensions of the food environment, according to an established framework (availability, prices, vendor and product properties, marketing and regulation, accessibility, affordability, convenience, and desirability), might be shifting in the context of a digital society. We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, Scopus, and Web of Science for studies published between 2000 and 2019, using search terms covering digital technology and food environment, which yielded 13,580 unique records. Our analysis of 357 studies shows that digitalization is taking place in all dimensions of the food environment, and enabling the emergence of new forms of buying and selling food, such as online grocery shopping and online food delivery, which may be changing availability of foods and affecting the physical distance to shops and time allocated for shopping. Systematic reviews identified indicated that digital food marketing and social media can influence food choices, preferences and consumption. Our findings suggest that digital and physical food environments are interconnected and influencing one another, but the impact of the digital on health and nutrition is yet unclear.
食物环境与饮食及健康结果直接相关，如超重、肥胖和非传染性疾病。食物环境的数字化正成为公共卫生领域的一个核心问题，但对于这个新兴领域我们知之甚少。我们进行了一项系统的范围综述，以梳理关于数字食物环境的研究，并根据一个既定框架（可得性、价格、供应商和产品特性、营销与监管、可达性、可承受性、便利性和吸引力）来调查食物环境的八个维度在数字社会背景下可能会如何变化。我们在MEDLINE、EMBASE、Scopus和科学网中搜索了2000年至2019年发表的研究，使用了涵盖数字技术和食物环境的搜索词，共得到13580条独特记录。我们对357项研究的分析表明，数字化正在食物环境的各个维度发生，并催生了新的食品买卖形式，如在线食品杂货购物和在线食品配送，这可能正在改变食物的可得性，并影响到与商店的实际距离以及用于购物的时间分配。系统综述表明，数字食品营销和社交媒体会影响食物选择、偏好和消费。我们的研究结果表明，数字和实体食物环境相互关联且相互影响，但数字环境对健康和营养的影响尚不清楚。
