Abstract
⺠We model food environment predictors of obesity in southeastern Louisiana. ⺠We use an alternative measure based on in-store contents and GIS mapping of stores. ⺠The measure is a proxy for relative availability of healthy to unhealthy food. ⺠Healthier food environments, but not food store types, decrease the risk of obesity.
