Abstract
⺠Obesity disparities by race-ethnicity are remarkable and greater in women than in men. ⺠Neighborhood socioeconomic status is a negative contextual correlate of obesity risk. ⺠Neighborhood walkability and access to parks are negatively associated with obesity risk. ⺠Population density is positively linked to obesity risk for women but negatively for men. ⺠The built environment does not explain obesity disparities by race-ethnicity.
