2 BMI among Respondents to the NYC Community Health Survey Partnered with NYC DOHMH to study neighborhood effects on diet, physical activity and BMI among respondents to the NYC CHS. Pooled the 2002-2006 CHS data and linked the respondents to their zip codes of residence. Used D&B data to measure food environments. Built upon our earlier work classifying food outlets as BMI-healthy and BMI-unhealthy. Attempted to measure the food environment in more ecological terms: density, diversity and typology (BMI-healthy & BMI-unhealthy).

3 Food Environments and BMI among Respondents to the NYC CHS [Stark et al., 2013, JECH] Analyses adjust for gender, age, race/ethnicity, income-to-poverty ratio, nativity, marital status, self-reported health, employment status, zip code proportion African American, zip code walkability index, zip code food diversity and other variables in the figure.

4 Outlet Density and the Proportion of Outlets that are BMI-Unhealthy

5 Association between BMI and BMI-unhealthy outlets depends on zip-code poverty rate Food Environments and BMI among Respondents to the NYC CHS

6 My View: Priorities for Food Policy Research Develop an understanding of the food environment as an ecological system that is part of the larger retail ecology. Such systems have niches and undergo ecologic succession. (Bader et al., 2013, Health & Place, Neckerman et al., 2013, Journal Acad Nut Diet, Stark et al., 2013, JECH). Understanding what different communities want from their food system. (Park et al., 2011, Soc Sci Med). Disparities, Disparities, Disparities
