据推测，贫困社区的食品环境质量较差，这可能会促进肥胖症的发展。我们调查了苏格兰和英格兰四家最大的快餐连锁店的位置与区域剥夺之间的关系。我们发现，对于每个单独的快餐连锁店和所有连锁店的组合，从更富裕到更贫困地区的网点密度在统计上显着增加。这些结果提供了支持的“集中”效应，即合理的健康损害肥胖的环境风险因素似乎是“集中”在英格兰和苏格兰的贫困地区。(c)2006爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
It has been hypothesised that deprived neighbourhoods have poorer quality food environments which may promote the development of obesity. We investigated associations between area deprivation and the location of the four largest fast-food chains in Scotland and England. We found statistically significant increases in density of outlets from more affluent to more deprived areas for each individual fast-food chain and all chains combined. These results provide support for a 'concentration' effect whereby plausible health-damaging environmental risk factors for obesity appear to be 'concentrated' in more deprived areas of England and Scotland.
