Fast food restaurant availability around home and around work: differential relationships with women's diet

To understand the multifaceted causes of obesity, numerous studies have investigated how the neighborhood food environment is associated with diet. This literature has focused almost exclusively on home neighborhood environments in urban settings while the neighborhood food environment around an individual’s workplace has received little attention. We tested the hypothesis that fast food restaurant (FFR) availability around the workplace is more strongly related to dietary behaviors than FFR availability around the home for rural women.
