Exploring the relationship between food environment and childhood obesity in the Southwark Borough of London

因此，这项研究将考察食物环境的不同变量与伦敦南沃克区儿童肥胖症之间的关系。特别是，研究将考虑个人食物环境维度，如家庭收入、照顾者和儿童的行为以及外部食物环境。这项研究的结果将通过分析儿童照顾者对儿童进食行为的调查数据，以及绘制某些食品商店(如便利店、超市、外卖商店等)的密度以及接触加工或含糖食品广告的数据，为研究导致儿童肥胖的复杂相互作用提供有价值的见解。这项研究的目标是更好地了解这些方面，以便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。

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.
