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