| Abstract: | The home food environment can be conceptualized as overlapping interactive
domains composed of built and natural, sociocultural, political and economic,
micro-level and macro-level environments. Each type and level of environment
uniquely contributes influence through a mosaic of determinants depicting the
home food environment as a major setting for shaping child dietary behavior and
the development of obesity. Obesity is a multifactorial problem, and the home food
environmental aspects described here represent a substantial part of the full
environmental context in which a child grows, develops, eats, and behaves. The
present review includes selected literature relevant to the home food environment's
influence on obesity with the aim of presenting an ecologically informed model for
future research and intervention in the home food environment. |
