title = "Survey-derived activity space-based exposures to fast food outlets and their cross-sectional associations with use of fast food outlets, diet quality and BMI",
abstract = "There is a need for conceptual and methodological innovation in food environment-health research. We compared different operationalizations of survey-derived activity space exposures to fast food outlets (FFOs) in associations with use of FFO, diet quality and body mass index (BMI). FFO exposure was determined for home, work and a maximum of sixteen other locations reported by 1728 Dutch adults. Considerable differences in count of FFO between locations were found. Adjusted linear regression analyses resulted in small, unexpected associations with use of FFO, diet quality and BMI, whereby the strength of associations differed between exposure measures. Using home and work areas may be a cost-efficient compromise to capture large parts of the exposure to FFOs.",

note = "Funding Information: The Eet & Leef study was funded by an NWO VENI grant on “Making the healthy choice easier–role of the local food environment” (grant number 451-17-032 ). MGMP's work is supported by the EXPANSE project which is funded by the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 874627 . Funders had no role in the design of the study and collection, analysis, and interpretation of data and in writing the manuscript, nor did they have authority on the decision to submit the manuscript for publication.
