DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): I will focus my research on the physical and social environmental factors that play a role in the development of obesity. I will be using data from the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults Study (CARDIA), a longitudinal study of the antecedents and risk factors for cardiovascular disease in a cohort of 5,115 black and white young adults aged 18-30 years at baseline (1985). Using Geographic Information Systems (GIS), a geographic link can be made between respondent residential addresses and data on environmental factors derived from a series of federal and commercial databases. Through this spatial analysis methodology, I will be able to use the CARDIA dietary history data to understand the dynamics of dietary behaviors and weight gain over time in the CARDIA cohort. The results promise to provide useful insights into the nature of the shifts in eating behavior and obesity in the U.S.

描述（由申请人提供）：我将集中我的研究在肥胖的发展中发挥作用的物理和社会环境因素。我将使用来自年轻人冠状动脉风险发展研究（CARDIA）的数据，这是一项对基线（1985年）年龄在18-30岁之间的5,115名黑人和白色年轻人进行的心血管疾病前因和风险因素的纵向研究。利用地理信息系统，可以在答复者的居住地址与从一系列联邦和商业数据库中获得的环境因素数据之间建立地理联系。通过这种空间分析方法，我将能够使用CARDIA饮食史数据来了解CARDIA队列中饮食行为和体重增加随时间的动态变化。研究结果有望为美国饮食行为和肥胖的变化提供有用的见解。
