About CEDAR • The Centre for Diet and Activity Research (CEDAR) is focussed on: • studying the determinants of dietary and PA behaviours • developing and evaluating public health interventions • helping shape public health practice and policy. • The Centre is one of five Centres of Excellence in Public health Research funded through the UKCRC. • Find out more: http://www.cedar.iph.cam.ac.uk/
Introduction • UK obesity levels have reached ‘epidemic’ proportions • 29% increase in expenditure on foods consumed out of the home in the last 10 years • Meals consumed outside of the home are less healthy: more energy dense, more saturated fat, more salt; bigger portions • Takeaway consumption associated with weight gain over time • Neighbourhood access to takeaway food outlets may play an important role in determining diet and health Sources: Food – an analysis of the issues, 2008 Food matters – towards a strategy for the 21st century, 2008 Centre for Diet and Activity Research
Takeaways, Increased policy recognition “though a clear relationship between fast food restaurants and obesity rates is less [well] demonstrated”

Associations between exposure to takeaway food outlets, takeaway food consumption, and body weight in Cambridgeshire, UK: population based, cross sectional study Burgoine, T., Forouhi, N.G., Griffin, S.J., Wareham, N. and Monsivais, P. (2014) BMJ 348 (7950) Institute of Public Health

Study design HOME WORK • Participants exposed to: • 32 takeaway outlets on average • up to as many as 165 outlets • majority of outlets at work. JOURNEY Centre for Diet and Activity Research
Takeaway Exposure - Consumption 5.7g 3.0g (least exposed) (most exposed) ** p<0.001; * p<0.05. a Q1, least exposed – Q4, most exposed. β co-efficients represent change in takeaway type food consumption (g) per quartile of takeaway food outlet exposure. All models control for age, sex, education (individual-level socio-economic status), daily energy intake (kcal), car ownership and supermarket availability. Commuting and combined models also adjust for journey length. Error bars represent 95% confidence intervals.

Takeaway Exposure – Body Mass Index 1.21kg/m2 (least exposed) (most exposed) ** p<0.001; * p<0.05. a Q1, least exposed – Q4, most exposed. β co-efficients represent estimated BMI (kg/m2) per quartile of takeaway food outlet exposure. All models control for age, sex, education (individual-level socio-economic status), smoking status, car ownership and supermarket availability. Commuting and combined models also adjust for journey length. Error bars represent 95% confidence intervals.
Conclusions • Neighbourhood takeaway food environments matter. • Limiting the number of takeaway food outlet encountered on a daily basis may be one way of positively influencing diets and body weight Socio-economic status (education) Takeaway food access BMI and takeaway food consumption Centre for Diet and Activity Research

Exposure by Education – Body Mass Index Means, 95% CIs adjusted for age, sex, smoking status, household income, car access, weighted journey distance, physical activity energy expenditure, supermarket availability. Adapted from Burgoine et al In Preparation
Conclusions • Less educated individuals, living in ‘unhealthy’ neighbourhoods, face a particular challenge (deprivation amplification) • Neighbourhood takeaway food environments matter, across all education groups. • Results indicate that the association between takeaway exposure and takeaway consumption varies according to level of education • Environmental interventions may to some extent reduce socio-economic patterning of diet.
