A systematic review of neighbourhood economic context on child obesity and
obesity-related behaviours.
Obes Rev. 2019 03;20(3):420-431

Abstract
Childhood obesity is of great importance given a third of children in the
USA are overweight or obese. Previous research has examined neighbourhood
economic context in relation to children's obesity and obesity-rated
behaviours. However, different definitions and measures of neighbourhood
context make it difficult to compare findings and make definitive
conclusions. This review is to synthesize studies assessing the
associations between neighbourhood economic context and children's obesity
or obesity-related behaviours. The review included 39 studies investigating
the relationship between residential neighbourhood economic context and
children's obesity, dietary habits or physical activity after controlling
for family-level economic status. Studies reported mixed results in the
relationship between neighbourhood economic indicators and child obesity
outcomes. Of reviewed studies, 60% showed an inverse association between
higher neighbourhood economic status and obesity, and 33% and 14% showed
positive associations between higher neighbourhood economic status and
healthy dietary habits or physical activity. Several studies suggested
gender, age, race/ethnicity, individual-level economic status, rurality and
social connectedness as moderators in the neighbourhood-obesity
association. Findings suggest that, in order to move towards causal
inferences and inform interventions, future research should examine
neighbourhood impacts longitudinally and test theory-driven mediators and
moderators to clarify the mechanisms by which neighbourhoods influence
child obesity.
