背景本文探讨了在社区层面上的个人饮食习惯和杂货店环境之间的关系。在12个社区使用电话调查，以获得自我报告的饮食个人的饮食习惯进行了测量。研究人员制定了一项协议，以衡量这12个社区的杂货店环境的两个方面：健康产品（低脂肪和高纤维）的相对可用性，以及提供的健康教育信息的数量。在两个层次的地理聚集：社区（通常是一个县）和社区内的邮政编码（n= 34）之间的个人和商店级的措施进行了比较。我们发现，在社区和邮政编码水平上，商店中健康产品的可用性与个人饮食的健康性之间存在正相关和统计学显著相关。商店提供的健康教育材料的数量与个人饮食的健康性之间也存在正相关，但这些相关性没有达到统计学显著性。研究结果支持将杂货店环境的测量作为社区饮食行为评估的一部分。
Background. This article examines the relationship at the community level between individual dietary practice and the grocery store environment.Methods. Individual dietary practice was measured in 12 communities using a telephone survey to obtain self-reported diet. A protocol was developed to measure two aspects of the grocery store environment in these same 12 communities: the relative availability of healthful (low-fat and high-fiber) products, and the amount of health-education information provided. Comparisons were made between individual and store-level measures at two levels of geographic aggregation: community (typically a county) and zip code within community (n= 34).Results. We found positive and statistically significant correlations at both the community and the zip code level between the availability of healthful products in stores and the reported healthfulness of individual diets. Positive correlations were also found between measures of the amount of health-education material provided by stores and the healthfulness of individual diets, but these correlations did not reach statistical significance.Conclusions. The results provide support for including measures of the grocery store environment as part of a community-level assessment of dietary behavior.
