随着纽约市最贫困社区中糖尿病和肥胖症发病率的上升，帮助低收入居民花钱促进营养食品消费的努力有所增加。这项研究的目的是评估布朗克斯的杂货店在多大程度上通过每周的循环销售提供营养食品。在2个月的时间里，我们分析了布朗克斯15家杂货店在线广告首页上的2311种食品和饮料产品。对于每个循环，我们记录了淀粉类和非淀粉类水果和蔬菜的数量；对于每种产品，记录了每份产品的总纤维和碳水化合物含量（以克为单位）、产品是否经过加工以及销售价格。记录了所有含糖饮料的总糖含量（以克为单位）。超过84%的产品经过加工，几乎40%的食品至少有一种碳水化合物选择（15克）。只有16.5%的产品是新鲜水果和绿叶蔬菜，1.4%的产品纤维含量在每份5克或更多。还注意到要求购买数倍的不健康产品以获得销售价格。近四分之三的含糖饮料做了促销广告，而超过一半的新鲜水果和只有三分之一的新鲜蔬菜做了促销广告。我们没有发现其他研究涉及杂货店传单上食品的营养成分。要确定在低收入社区的杂货店购买营养产品是否受到销售价格的影响，还需要进行更多的研究。
With the rising rates of diabetes and obesity in New York City's poorest communities, efforts to assist low-income residents in spending money to promote nutritious food consumption have increased. The objective of this study was to assess the extent to which Bronx-based grocery stores offered nutritious foods on sale through their weekly circulars. Over a 2-month period, we analyzed 2,311 food and beverage products placed on the first page of online circulars for fifteen Bronx-based grocery stores. For each circular, we recorded the number of starchy and non-starchy fruits and vegetables; for each product, total fiber and carbohydrate content per serving (in grams), whether the product was processed, and sale price were recorded. Total sugar content (in grams) was recorded for all sugar-sweetened beverages. Over 84 % of the products were processed, and almost 40 % had at least one carbohydrate choice (15 g) per food serving. Only 16.5 % of the products were fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables, and 1.4 % had fiber content of 5 or more grams per serving. Requiring the purchase of multiples of unhealthy products to receive the sale price was also noted. Almost three-quarters of the sugar-sweetened beverages were advertised with promotional sales compared to over half of the fresh fruits and only one-third of fresh vegetables. We identified no other studies that address nutritional content of foods found in grocery store circulars. More research is necessary to determine if purchasing nutritious products at grocery stores in low-income neighborhoods is influenced by sale prices.
