ABSTRACT

This study examined spatial patterns of obesogenic environments for US counties. We mapped the geographic dispersion of food and physical activity (PA) environments, assessed spatial clustering, and identified food and PA environment differences across U.S. regions and rurality categories. Substantial low food score clusters were located in the South and high score clusters in the Midwest and West. Low PA score clusters were located in the South and high score clusters in the Northeast and Midwest (p < .0001). For region, the South had significantly lower food and PA environment scores. For rurality, rural counties had significantly higher food environment scores and metropolitan counties had significantly higher PA environment scores (p < .0001). This study highlights geographic clustering and disparities in food and PA access nationwide. State and region-wide environmental inequalities may be targeted using structural interventions and policy initiatives to improve food and PA access.

美国各地食物和身体活动环境的空间聚类模式和区域差异

摘要

本研究调查了美国各县致肥胖环境的空间模式。我们绘制了食物和身体活动 (PA) 环境的地理分布图,评估了空间聚类,并确定了美国地区和农村类别之间的食物和 PA 环境差异。大量低食物评分集群位于南部,高评分集群位于中西部和西部。PA 低分集群位于南部,高分集群位于东北部和中西部(p < .0001)。对于地区而言,南方的食物和 PA 环境得分明显较低。对于农村,农村县的食物环境得分显着更高,大城市县的 PA 环境得分显着更高 (p < .0001)。这项研究突出了全国范围内食物和 PA 获取的地理集群和差异。
