Combined measure of neighborhood food and physical activity environments and weight-related outcomes: The CARDIA study.


ABSTRACT: Engagement in healthy lifestyle behaviors likely reflects access to a diverse and synergistic set of food and physical activity resources, yet most research examines discrete characteristics.

We used latent class analysis to derive population-density-specific (
