目的：少数民族儿童肥胖率较高。原因之一可能是获得负担得起的健康选择的机会有限。城市街角商店在低收入和高少数民族社区的不同流行程度已经得到了很好的记录。然而，没有数据表明儿童在上学前后在这些环境中购买了什么。本研究的目的是记录儿童购买的性质在街角商店接近他们的school.METHODS：这是一项观察性研究，从2008年1月至6月。参与者是来自10所城市K-8学校的4至6年级的儿童，其中>= 50%的学生有资格获得免费或减价餐。在24个街角商店外，在上学前后共进行了833次儿童购物的拦截调查。主要结果是类型和能量含量的项目purchased.RESULTS：最常购买的项目是能量密集，低营养食品和饮料，如芯片，糖果，含糖饮料。学生每次购买2.1 +/-1.3项（1.6 +/-1.1项食品和0.5 +/-0.6项饮料）花费1.07 +/-0.93美元。每次旅行购买的卡路里总数为1497.7 +/-1219.3 kJ（356.6 +/-290.3 kcal）。更多的热量来自食品比饮料。结论：在街角商店购买的城市学校儿童的能量摄入显着。预防肥胖的工作，以及更广泛的努力，以提高饮食质量的儿童在城市环境中，应包括角落商店环境靠近学校。儿科2009; 124：1293 - 1298
OBJECTIVE: Childhood obesity is higher among ethnic minorities. One reason may be the limited access to affordable, healthy options. The disparate prevalence of urban corner stores in low-income and high-minority communities has been well documented. There are no data, however, on what children purchase in these environments before and after school. The purpose of this study was to document the nature of children's purchases in corner stores proximal to their schools.METHODS: This was an observational study from January to June 2008. Participants were children in grades 4 through 6 from 10 urban K-8 schools with >= 50% of students eligible for free or reduced-price meals. A total of 833 intercept surveys of children's purchases were conducted outside 24 corner stores before and after school. The main outcomes were type and energy content of items purchased.RESULTS: The most frequently purchased items were energy-dense, low-nutritive foods and beverages, such as chips, candy, and sugar-sweetened beverages. Students spent $1.07 +/- 0.93 on 2.1 +/- 1.3 items (1.6 +/- 1.1 food items and 0.5 +/- 0.6 beverage items) per purchase. The total number of calories purchased per trip was 1497.7 +/- 1219.3 kJ (356.6 +/- 290.3 kcal). More calories came from foods than from beverages.CONCLUSIONS: Purchases made in corner stores contribute significantly to energy intake among urban school children. Obesity prevention efforts, as well as broader efforts to enhance dietary quality among children in urban settings, should include corner store environments proximal to schools.
