We study the relationship between proximity to fast food restaurants and weight gain from late childhood to early adolescence. We use the Millennium Cohort Study, a UK-wide nationally representative longitudinal study, linked with granular geocoded food outlet data to measure the presence of fast food outlets around children's homes and schools from ages 7 to 14. We find that proximity to fast food outlets is associated with increased weight (body mass index, overweight, obese, body fat, weight), but only among those with maternal education below degree level. Within this sample, those with lower levels of emotional regulation are at heightened risk of weight gain.
我们研究了从儿童后期到青春期早期，快餐店的接近程度与体重增加之间的关系。我们使用了千禧年队列研究（一项英国全国范围内具有代表性的纵向研究），并将其与详细的地理编码食品销售点数据相联系，以衡量儿童家庭和学校周围快餐销售点从 7 岁到 14 岁的存在情况。我们发现，接近快餐店与体重增加（体重指数、超重、肥胖、体脂肪、体重）有关，但仅在母亲教育程度低于学位水平的人群中有关。在这个样本中，情绪调节能力较低的人面临更高的体重增加风险。
