A significant contributor to dietary quality lies in access to healthy foods at a reasonable cost. In terms of the built environment, a key question is whether people who live closer to stores and restaurants\u2014particularly those with healthier options\u2014eat better than those who live further away? Little research has looked directly at this issue and the research shows stronger links between access to supermarkets and healthy eating than access to fast food and its opposite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"h-health-and-places-initiative-hapi-nbsp-research-brief\"><strong>Health and Places Initiative (HAPI)&nbsp;Research Brief<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/healthy\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/55\/files\/2015\/11\/HAPI_ResearchBrief_Food-Options-101915.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Food Options, Health, and Place<\/a>&nbsp;[PDF]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"h-external-resources\"><strong>External Resources<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--1\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/healthy\/research\/research-briefs\/research-brief-resources\/\" style=\"border-radius:0px\">View External Resources on Food Options<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery alignwide has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/healthy\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/55\/files\/2014\/05\/Eating3-e1398952692729.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"581\" data-id=\"1362\" src=\"https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/healthy\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/55\/files\/2014\/05\/Eating3-e1398952692729.jpg\" alt=\"Large bunch of carrots on wagon. \" class=\"wp-image-1362\" srcset=\"https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/healthy\/files\/2014\/05\/Eating3-e1398952692729.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/healthy\/files\/2014\/05\/Eating3-e1398952692729-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/healthy\/files\/2014\/05\/Eating3-e1398952692729-768x436.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/healthy\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/55\/files\/2014\/05\/Eating2-e1398952746170.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1018\" height=\"578\" data-id=\"1361\" src=\"https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/healthy\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/55\/files\/2014\/05\/Eating2-e1398952746170.jpg\" alt=\"Variety of vegetables and roots at outdoor market. \" class=\"wp-image-1361\" srcset=\"https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/healthy\/files\/2014\/05\/Eating2-e1398952746170.jpg 1018w, https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/healthy\/files\/2014\/05\/Eating2-e1398952746170-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/healthy\/files\/2014\/05\/Eating2-e1398952746170-768x436.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1018px) 100vw, 1018px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/healthy\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/55\/files\/2014\/05\/Eating1-e1398952788646.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"581\" data-id=\"1360\" src=\"https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/healthy\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/55\/files\/2014\/05\/Eating1-e1398952788646.jpg\" alt=\"Freshly grown lettuce still in the ground. \" class=\"wp-image-1360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/healthy\/files\/2014\/05\/Eating1-e1398952788646.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/healthy\/files\/2014\/05\/Eating1-e1398952788646-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/healthy\/files\/2014\/05\/Eating1-e1398952788646-768x436.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Food Options Inadequate nutrition is associated with chronic diseases and conditions, such as cardiovascular disease, hypertension, stress, cancer, diabetes, low birth weight, obesity, and anemia.
