我使用了28年（1986-2014）的限制性地理编码NLSY区域级数据，发现在美国肥胖症上升期间，儿童社区劣势与成年肥胖和BMI之间存在正相关。兄弟姐妹固定效应和堂兄弟固定效应模型部分解决了核心家族和大家族中嵌套的未观察到的混杂。此外，在青春期暴露于邻里劣势是最突出的，提供洞察政策干预时，可能是最有效的。结果是强大的替代规格的邻里劣势，暴露的年龄，和替代抽样策略。
I use 28 (1986-2014) years of restricted geocoded NLSY tract-level data and find positive associations between exposure to childhood neighborhood disadvantage and adult obesity and BMI among individuals growing up and entering adulthood during the rise of obesity in the United States. Sibling fixed effects and cousin fixed effects models partially address unobserved confounding nested in the nuclear as well as extended family. Furthermore, exposure to neighborhood disadvantage in adolescence is most salient, providing insight into when policy intervention may be most effective. Results are robust to alternative specifications for neighborhood disadvantage, ages of exposure, and to alternative sampling strategies.
