Fast food proximity and weight gain in childhood and adolescence: Evidence from Great Britain
利用英国千禧队列研究数据，发现快餐店邻近性与7至14岁儿童体重增长相关，但仅对母亲教育程度低于大学水平的儿童有显著影响，且情绪调节能力较低的儿童风险更高。
We study the relationship between proximity to fast food restaurants and weight gain from late childhood to early adolescence. We use the Millennium Cohort Study, a UK-wide nationally representative longitudinal study, linked with granular geocoded food outlet data to measure the presence of fast food outlets around children's homes and schools from ages 7 to 14. We find that proximity to fast food outlets is associated with increased weight (body mass index, overweight, obese, body fat, weight), but only among those with maternal education below degree level. Within this sample, those with lower levels of emotional regulation are at heightened risk of weight gain.
