本研究的目的是评估建筑环境和社会环境与城市人口超重之间的关系。参与者是从慢性病危险因素监测系统（VIGITEL）中挑选出来的。这项研究使用了巴西米纳斯吉拉斯州贝洛奥里藏特市的数据。调查共使用了2008年和2009年的3425次访谈。利用公园、广场、体育锻炼地点、人口密度和食品商店的地理参考数据来评估建筑环境。描述社区的社会环境、使用收入和凶杀率。与超重独立相关的环境变量包括人口密度、公园、广场和体育锻炼地点的存在，以及自我报告的体育锻炼地点的存在。研究结果表明，居住社区特征与城市成年人的超重有关。
The aim of this study was to assess associations between the built environment and social environment and excess weight in an urban population. Participants were selected from the Surveillance System for Risk Factors for Chronic Diseases (VIGITEL). The study used data from the city of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais State, Brazil. A total of 3,425 interviews from the years 2008 and 2009 were used. Georeferenced data on parks, squares, and locations for physical exercise, population density, and food stores were used to assess the built environment. Description of the social environment used income and homicide rate for the neighborhood. Environmental variables associated independently with excess weight were population density, presence of parks, squares, and locations for physical exercise, and self-reported presence of locations for physical exercise. The findings show that residential neighborhood characteristics are associated with excess weight in urban adults.
