Associations of neighbourhood food retail with disability and death in older adults: Cardiovascular Health Study.
BMJ Nutr Prev Health
December 2024
Urban Health Collaborative, Dornsife School of Public Health, Drexel University, Philadelphia, PA, USA.
Background: A healthier diet is associated with lower chronic disease burden, but the impact of neighbourhood food environments on disability and death in older adults is not known.
Methods: In the Cardiovascular Health Study, a cohort study of adults aged 65+, we calculated study years until death (years of life (YOL)), study years without activities of daily living (ADL) difficulty (years of able life; YoAL) and percent of study years without ADL difficulty (compression of disability). Linear regression quantified associations of food establishments within 5 km of baseline home address (as a z-score) with each outcome, adjusted for sociodemographic characteristics.
