This research, therefore, will examine the relationship between different variables of the food environment and childhood obesity in the Southwark Borough of London. In particular, the study will consider the personal food environment dimensions such as household income, caregivers', and children's behaviours as well as the external food environment. The study's outputs will offer valuable insights into the intricate interactions that lead to childhood obesity by analysing survey data on children's feeding behaviours from their caregivers and mapping data on food environments such as the density of certain food outlets such as convenience stores, supermarkets, take away outlets among others and exposure to processed or sugary food advertisements. The goal of this research is to better understand these aspects to inform interventions that address childhood obesity using a systems approach and the use of evidence.

因此，本研究将探讨伦敦萨瑟克自治市的食品环境和儿童肥胖的不同变量之间的关系。特别是，该研究将考虑个人食品环境方面，如家庭收入，父母和儿童的行为以及外部食品环境。该研究的成果将通过分析儿童看护人关于儿童喂养行为的调查数据，以及绘制食品环境数据，如便利店、超市、外卖店等某些食品店的密度以及接触加工或含糖食品广告的情况，为了解导致儿童肥胖的复杂相互作用提供有价值的见解。这项研究的目的是更好地了解这些方面，为使用系统方法和证据解决儿童肥胖症的干预措施提供信息。
