Contexte. La mise en place d’environnements favorables à une saine alimentation est indispensable pour assurer la santé de la population, puisque celle-ci est considérée comme étant un déterminant de la santé. De ce fait, une corrélation existe entre les habitudes alimentaires, le diabète de type II et la santé cardiovasculaire. Durant de nombreuses années, les facteurs prédisposant au diabète étaient considérés essentiellement comme des choix individuels. Un nombre croissant de recherches démontrent présentement un lien entre les facteurs environnementaux, y compris l’accessibilité géographique à des choix alimentaires sains, et le diabète. Objectif. Cette étude vise à évaluer le lien entre l’environnement alimentaire et le risque de diabète de type II pour les résidents adultes de 6 régions métropolitaines du Québec. Méthodes. Un devis quantitatif comprenant des analyses transversales est utilisé. L’unité d’analyse est l’individu. Un corpus dérivé de la banque de données CARTaGENE est exploité. Pour répondre à l’objectif, un sous-échantillon composé de 8405 adultes habitant les six grandes régions métropolitaines du Québec de la cohorte CARTAGENE est utilisé. Les participants de cet échantillon ont été interrogés sur des sujets liés à leur santé et habitudes de vie. L'exposition aux commerces d’alimentation a été opérationnalisée à partir de zones tampons de 1000 mètres autour des adresses résidentielles et par des calculs de densité et de distance en utilisant les réseaux routiers. Cinq indicateurs de densité ont été calculés : densité des épiceries et des supermarchés, densité des dépanneurs, densité des restaurants-minute, nombre des dépanneurs, et ratio de restaurants-minute et dépanneurs aux supermarchés et épiceries. Trois mesures de proximité ont été calculées : distance au plus proche supermarché ou épicerie, distance au plus proche dépanneur, et distance au plus proche restaurant-minute. Des analyses de régression logistique ont été effectuées pour évaluer les associations entre ces indicateurs et le diabète de type II autodéclaré, en tenant compte des facteurs de confusion potentiels. Résultats. Nos résultats montrent l’absence de relations statistiquement significatives entre la proximité des points de vente d’aliments, les dépanneurs les plus proches et les détaillants de restauration rapide les plus proches (premiers quartiles dans chaque catégorie), et le statut individuel de diabète de type II. En revanche, l’indice de défavorisation matérielle d’un quartier était positivement et significativement associé au risque de diabète de type II. De plus, le fait de résider dans un « désert alimentaire » était le seul indicateur de l’accès géographique qui était statistiquement et significativement associé positivement au risque de diabète de type II, à la fois dans les modèles univariés (RC = 1,42 ; IC à 95 % : 1,05, 1,90) et multivariés (RC = 1,56 ; IC à 95 % : 1,12, 2,18). Conclusion. Nos résultats n’ont montré aucune relation significative entre le statut individuel de diabète de type II et la plupart des facteurs de l’environnement alimentaire. La littérature existante a montré une association significative des indicateurs socio-économiques individuels et d’un quartier avec le risque de maladie cardiométabolique, une relation que nous avons également observée dans notre étude, en ce qui concerne le type individuel de risque de diabète de type II. En outre, le fait de résider dans un « désert alimentaire » augmentait considérablement le risque individuel de diabète de type II. Nos résultats suggèrent que les mesures de santé publique pour freiner le diabète de type II devraient simultanément aborder les facteurs de risque individuels ainsi que les aspects pertinents de l’environnement alimentaire et les indicateurs socioéconomiques du quartier. / Context. Recent studies have explored the link between the accessibility to healthy food choices and population health. Specifically, there is a demonstrated association between nutritional habits and cardiovascular/metabolic disease, especially type II diabetes. Inasmuch as a significant corpus of knowledge has focused on individual factors and diabetes risk, emerging studies demonstrate that the food environment, including geographic accessibility to whole and healthy foods, potentially has an impact on individual and population type II diabetes risk. This study draws on data from CARTaGENE, a large cross-sectional province-wide study with 43,000 participants. Objective. This study aims to evaluate the association between the food environment and type II diabetes risk among adult residents across 6 metropolitan regions of Quebec. Methods. A quantitative research design is employed, whereby cross-sectional analyses are performed. The unit of analysis is the individual. A subsample of 8405 adults living in the six major metropolitan areas of Quebec of the CARTAGENE cohort was used. Participants in this sample answered questionnaires related to their health and lifestyle habits. Exposures to food environments were operationalized using 1000-meter buffer zones around residential addresses and by distance calculations using road networks. Five density indicators were calculated: density of grocery stores and supermarkets, density of convenience stores, density of fast-food restaurants, numbers of convenience stores, and ratio of fast-food restaurants and convenience stores to supermarkets and grocery stores. Three proximity measures were calculated: distance to the nearest supermarket or grocery store, distance to the nearest convenience store and distance to the nearest fast-food restaurants. Logistic regression analyses were performed to assess associations between these indicators and self-reported type II diabetes, considering potential confounders. Results. Our results showed an absence of statistically significant relationships between proximity to food outlets, closest convenient stores, and closest fast-food restaurants (first quartiles in each category), and individual type II diabetes status. In contrast, the material deprivation index of a neighborhood was positively and significantly associated with type II diabetes risk. Furthermore, residing in a “food desert” was the only indicator of geographical access that was statistically significantly positively associated with type II diabetes risk, in both univariate (OR = 1,42 ; 95 % CI : 1,05, 1,90) and multivariate (OR = 1,56 ; 95 % CI : 1,12, 2,18) models. Conclusion. Our results showed no significant relationship between individual type II diabetes status and most food environment factors. Existent literature has shown significant association of individual and neighborhood socioeconomic indicators with cardiometabolic disease risk, a relationship we also observed in our study, insofar as individual type II diabetes risk is concerned. Furthermore, residing in a ‘food desert’ significantly increased individual type II diabetes risk. Our results suggest that public health measures to curb type II diabetes should concomitantly address individual risk factors as well pertinent aspects of the food environment, along with neighborhood socioeconomic indicators.

Introdução Evidências sugerem impacto das características do ambiente nas taxas de obesidade, por mediadores em nível comunitário, como acesso a comércios, disponibilidade e custo de alimentos. Porém, há insuficiente compreensão sobre a interação do meio nas práticas alimentares. Objetivos Ampliar a compreensão a respeito das relações entre o ambiente e as práticas alimentares em diferentes contextos socioeconômicos e de acesso à alimentação em que vivem indivíduos no município de São Paulo. Métodos Estudo de abordagem qualitativa baseado em dados de auditoria de ambiente alimentar, inquérito e entrevistas individuais. A amostragem propositiva abrangeu diversos estratos do ambiente socioeconômico e alimentar no município de São Paulo e incluiu 48 indivíduos adultos de ambos os sexos. O roteiro de entrevistas semiestruturadas foi elaborado a partir de duas perguntas norteadoras: Como é a percepção dos indivíduos sobre os estabelecimentos de comercialização de alimentos no bairro em que vivem e a sua influência nas práticas alimentares? e Como é a rotina de aquisição, preparo e consumo dos alimentos no bairro em que vivem e como isso se relaciona ao consumo de frutas e hortaliças e de alimentos ultraprocessados?. Para a categorização dos discursos aplicou-se análise de conteúdo proposta por Bardin. A trajetória interpretativa foi conduzida sob o referencial teórico das representações sociais. A análise de clusters hierárquica foi utilizada para o agrupamento dos indivíduos, retendo-se dois grupos: cluster 1 e cluster 2, diferenciados pelo nível socioeconômico e pela disponibilidade de alimentos saudáveis nos locais avaliados. Resultados As representações sociais sobre os ambientes alimentares estudados corresponderam às características aferidas em auditoria, revelando desigualdades entre os locais estudados. No cluster 1, caracterizado pelo maior nível socioeconômico e pelo melhor acesso à alimentação saudável, prevaleceu a percepção favorável sobre a disponibilidade de feiras, sacolões e supermercados, destacando oportunidades para a aquisição de alimentos com qualidade, variedade e preços acessíveis, dentre os quais as frutas e hortaliças. Os indivíduos do cluster 2 viviam em locais de menor nível socioeconômico e de menor acesso à alimentação saudável e representaram a falta de acesso à estabelecimentos de comércio de alimentos e a indisponibilidade de frutas e hortaliças. Nos dois clusters verificou-se a representação social: refrigerantes, salgadinhos, biscoitos recheados e fast-food se encontra em todo lugar, sobre a disponibilidade de alimentos ultraprocessados. A preocupação com a saúde foi a principal motivação para o consumo de frutas e hortaliças entre os dois clusters, e o gosto, a falta de hábito e o custo foram identificados como barreiras. Sobre o consumo de alimentos ultraprocessados, no cluster 1 ocorreu maior percepção sobre as barreiras, como a preocupação com a saúde. Já no cluster 2, se destacaram as motivações para este consumo, como o gosto e a presença de crianças. Conclusão A forma como conhecem e compreendem as características do ambiente alimentar está refletida em algumas ações dos sujeitos sobre as suas práticas de aquisição e consumo de alimentos. / Background Evidences suggest an impact of environmental characteristics on obesity and non-communicable diseases rates, by mediators at the community level such as access to markets, cost and availability of food. However, there is insufficient comprehension about the interaction of the environment in food pratices. Objective Enhancing knowledge about the relations between the environment and eating habits in different socioeconomic and food access contexts, whereupon São Paulos individuals live. Methods This is a qualitative study based on food environment audit data, inquiry and individual interviews. The purposeful sampling comprised different strata of the socioeconomic and food environments in São Paulo and included 48 adults of both genders.The script for semi-structured interviews was drawn from two guiding questions: How is the perception of the individuals on the food establishments in the neighborhood they live in, and their influence on eating habits? and How is the acquisition routine, preparation and consumption of foods in their neighborhood, and how does it relate to the consumption of fruits and vegetables, and ultra-processed food?. For categorizing the speeches Bardins content analisys was applied. The interpretative trajectory was conducted under the theoretical framework of social representations. The hierarchical clusters analisys was used for grouping individuals, retaining two groups: cluster 1 and cluster 2, differentiated by the socioeconomic level and by the availability of healthy foods at the locations assessed. Results The social representations about the food environments investigated corresponded to the characteristics measured in audit, revealing disparities between the locations assessed. In cluster 1,characterized by higher socioeconomic level and better access to healthy food, prevailed favorable perception about the availability of fairs, grocery stores and supermarkets, standing out opportunities to food acquisition with quality, variety and affordable prices, among which are fruits and vegetables.Individuals from cluster 2 lived in places of lower socioeconomic level and less access to healthy food, and they accounted for the lack of access to food establishments and the unavailability of fruits and vegetables.In both clusters there was the social representation: soft drinks, snacks, cookies and fast food are everywhere, about the availability of ultra-processed food. The concern about healthcare was the main motivation for fruits and vegetables consumption among both clusters, and the taste, the lack of habit and costs were identified as barriers. Regarding to ultra-processed food consumption, in cluster 1 there was a greater awareness about the barriers, like the concern for healthcare. On the other hand, in cluster 2, the motivations for this consumption were highlighted, such as the taste and the presence of children. ConclusionThe way individuals know and understand the environmental characteristics is reflected in some of their actions about the purchasing practices and food consumption.

This dissertation examines how concerns about food system transformations affect how middle class consumers in Islamabad, Pakistan, perceive and approach food consumption in their everyday lives. The dissertation is situated in the context of risky food environments and food fears resulting from intensified, industrialised, and increasingly lengthened global food systems. Working within food geography and food environments paradigms, this dissertation explores how the transformation of food systems is associated with increasing anxiety about food security and safety for middle class urban consumers in Islamabad. Qualitative data gathered from semi-structured interviews and participant observation is used to illustrate the effects external influences, such as energy scarcity and violent events, have on everyday food environments. The dissertation examines the ways in which conceptualisations of 'good food', and trust relationships are negotiated in these dynamic food environments. The intensely geographical nature of these food environments and food systems, and the role of place-specific contexts on perceptions and adaptations related to food anxieties are emphasised. Situated in literatures on food anxiety and food consumption emerging from geography, food studies, and anthropology, this dissertation challenges dominant discourses on alternative and ethical consumption in a globalising food system. The results of this research not only contribute to literature on South Asia, but also contribute to consumption practices of a burgeoning middle class in developing countries.

Une alimentation malsaine compromet la santé et génère des coûts importants sur les plans individuels et sociaux ainsi qu’en services en santé. L’adoption d’une saine alimentation est tributaire de déterminants individuels et environnementaux liés aux caractéristiques des environnements physique, économique, politique et socioculturel. Cette étude transversale a pour objectif d’évaluer l'effet de l’environnement physique, plus précisément l’effet de l'accessibilité géographique de commerces alimentaires, sur l'alimentation. Pour répondre à cet objectif, un échantillon composé de 7783 adultes âgés de 40 à 70 ans résidant dans quatre villes du Québec (Canada) a été utilisé. Des indicateurs de proximité ainsi que des indicateurs absolus et relatifs de densité de commerces alimentaires, de restaurants-minute et de dépanneurs situés aux alentours du domicile des participants ont été associés à la consommation de fruits et légumes (F&L). Les données des analyses de régressions logistiques univariées suggèrent que la consommation du nombre de portions minimales de F&L (5 portions) était associée de façon significative aux sept mesures de l'environnement alimentaire (RC variant entre 0.76 et 1.27). Cependant, ces relations étaient pour la plupart non significatives lorsque des variables confondantes étaient prises en compte. En multivarié, les variables les plus significativement corrélées à la consommation de F&L étaient des variables individuelles du sexe, du revenu et de l'éducation. Notre modèle de régression n'explique que 12,4 % de la variance de consommation de F&L, même en tenant compte de tous les facteurs confondants significatifs. Ces résultats démontrent que des recherches supplémentaires sont nécessaires pour mieux cerner les facteurs d’influence de la consommation de F&L chez cette population. / Unhealthy eating habits can compromise one’s health and generate significant individual, social and health services costs. The adoption of healthy eating habits depends on individual and environmental determinants related to the characteristics of the physical, economic, political and socio-cultural environments. The objective of this cross-sectional study was to assess the effect of the physical environment, more precisely the effect of food outlet accessibility, on diet. To meet our objective, a subsample of the CARTaGENE database, composed of 7,783 adults aged 40 to 70 years old residing in four cities in Quebec (Canada) was used. Measures of proximity as well as absolute and relative measures of density of retail food outlets, fast-food outlets and convenience stores near participants’ residences were used to analyze fruit and vegetable (F&V) intake. Univariate logistic regression showed that the minimal recommended portions of F&V intake (5 or more portions) was significantly associated with all seven measures of the retail food environment (OR between 0.76 and 1.27). However, these relations were mostly non-significant when confounding variables were considered in the analysis. Variables most significantly correlated to F&V intake were individual-level confounding variables of sex, income and education. Women were 3.13 (CI 2.85 – 3.45) times more likely than men to eat the recommended number of F&V portions. Only 12.4% of the F&V variance was explained by our regression model when considering all significant confounding factors. These results show that more research is needed to understand factors explaining F&V intake in this population.

Problématique et objectifs : Quels sont les comportements et les choix alimentaires d’un travailleur du secteur de la restauration rapide, continuellement exposé à des aliments majoritairement frits ou ultra-transformés? Peu de données sont disponibles pour répondre à cette question. L’étude de cas de la rôtisserie participante permettra de générer des données exploratoires afin de décrire les comportements alimentaires des employés et d’identifier les déterminants individuels, sociaux et contextuels susceptibles de les influencer. Méthodologie : Des entrevues individuelles intégrant des photographies d’aliments consommés au travail, prises par les participants, ont été menées dans une rôtisserie de type restaurant-minute. La grille d’entretien est inspirée du modèle socio-écologique de Zorbas et al. (2018). L’analyse des verbatims faite avec le logiciel NVivo combine une approche inductive et déductive. Des histoires de cas ont été produites pour chacun des participants afin de synthétiser les données. Une approbation éthique fut obtenue. Résultats : Un total de 17 participants, répartis en termes de genre, âgés de 18 à 53 ans, ayant de 6 mois à plus de 20 ans d’expérience à différents postes ont participé à l’étude. Tous les participants consomment de façon épisodique ou régulière des aliments ou des boissons en provenance des lieux du travail. La solution pour pallier leurs ressources limitées en temps, argent, compétences culinaires et au peu de motivation reliée à l’acte culinaire est de s’alimenter à partir de l’offre alimentaire en milieu de travail. Celle-ci s’avère être très accessible et peu coûteuse. La praticité, le goût, l’accessibilité et le prix des aliments sont prioritaires à la santé dans le processus de choix alimentaires de ces travailleurs. Les conditions de travail et les normes sociales contextuelles à l’emploi imposent aux travailleurs une pression supplémentaire à la consommation d’aliments au travail. Des attitudes ambivalentes y sont reliées. Conclusion : Un emploi en restauration rapide est susceptible d’exercer une influence défavorable sur l’alimentation des travailleurs. Ces derniers ne sont pas supportés dans l’adoption d’habitudes plus saines. Au fil du temps, le tout peut mener à des patrons alimentaires délétères pour la santé. Ces connaissances mettent en évidence le défi de développer des interventions pour les protéger d’un environnement alimentaire difficilement modifiable. Ces actions devraient agir sur l’ensemble des déterminants tant individuels que contextuels. / Context and objectives : What are the behaviors and choices of fast-food workers, those who are continuously exposed to fried and ultra-processed food? Few data are currently available. This case study of a chicken fast food restaurant aimed to describe workers’ food behaviors at work and to identity individual, social, and contextual determinants of influence. Method : Individual interviews using pictures of food and beverages eaten at work and taken by fast food workers of a chicken fast food restaurant was used. The interview guide was based on a socio-ecological model adapted by Zorbas et al. (2018). Analysis of verbatims was made with NVivo with an inductive and deductive approach. Case stories were written for data synthesis purpose. Ethics approvals were obtained. Results : Seventeen male and female fast-food workers from 18 to 53 years and working from 6 months to over 20 years at different positions participated in this study. All participants ate food or drank beverages from work on an occasional or regular basis. They generally are time and money constrained with few culinary skills and motivations. This leads them to eat food that is of easy access and cheap at work. Commodity, taste, accessibility, and price are more important than health in the decision-making process. Labor conditions and contextual social norms at work impose additional pressure on workers to consume food at work, despite ambivalent attitudes. Conclusion : Working in a fast-food restaurant is likely to exert an unfavorable influence on the diet of workers. They are not supported in adopting healthier habits. This can lead to unhealthy eating patterns over time. Those evidence highlight the challenges of developing interventions to protect people working in a food environment that is difficult to modify. These actions should act on all determinants, both individual and contextual.

This mixed-methods study addresses the relationship between the availability of food and realized food access by studying the retail food landscape of Holyoke, Massachusetts – a small, socio-economically diverse city. While a large body of empirical research finds that low-income communities and communities of color are especially likely to lack adequate access to healthy foods and experience increased vulnerability to food insecurity, few studies explore urban food environments through a mixed-methods case study approach. Through the use of food store mapping, store audits, and resident interviews, this research is a nascent attempt to articulate how the unique development histories and cultural politics of urban neighborhoods affect food access. The analysis finds that local food environments in Holyoke vary by social and spatial context. The study further considers how health and stability of a community is affected by the distribution and variety of food retail stores. In particular the study articulates the constructs of race and class in the food environment via the spatial mismatch of preferred food stores, mobility challenges, and the role of small urban food stores in the context of Holyoke’s foodscape. Implications for local food security policy are discussed.

Depuis maintenant plusieurs années la recherche en santé met l’accent sur le rôle de l’environnement alimentaire pour mieux comprendre les mécanismes qui influencent les comportements alimentaires, notamment en milieu urbain défavorisé. La littérature scientifique sur le sujet pour le Canada et le Québec est encore relativement peu fournie, en particulier sur le sujet de l’impact de l’environnement alimentaire du consommateur. Cette étude vise à analyser les associations entre certaines caractéristiques de l’environnement alimentaire incluant l’environnement alimentaire communautaire et du consommateur sur la consommation de fruits et légumes dans un quartier défavorisé de Montréal. L’étude se focalise sur Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, quartier pour lequel il existe de données détaillées sur la consommation de fruits et légumes d’un échantillon de 381 individus ainsi que sur les caractéristiques à l’intérieur de 17 supermarchés du territoire. Un indicateur composite de l’environnement alimentaire communautaire et du consommateur a été créé et utilisé dans des modèles de régression linéaire afin d’estimer l’effet de l’environnement alimentaire sur la consommation de fruits et légumes auprès de 381 individus, en contrôlant pour les facteurs sociodémographiques. Les résultats suggèrent que le fait de fréquenter un marché ou une fruiterie est la seule variable ayant un effet statistiquement significatif sur la consommation de fruits et légumes. Cependant, la grande majorité de l’échantillon s’approvisionne dans quatre supermarchés du quartier. Cette limite est probablement la raison pour laquelle nous ne mesurons pas d’effet significatif du prix et de l’environnement du consommateur en général. D’autres variables explicatives telles que la densité des commerces et la distance parcourue par les individus n’ont pas été observées comme ayant un effet significatif. / For several years now, research has emphasized the role of food environments in influencing eating behaviors, especially in underprivileged urban areas. As for Canada and Quebec, the scientific literature is still relatively limited, especially concerning the impact of the consumer environment. This study strives to analyze the impact of the food environment including both community and consumer food environment on fruits and vegetables consumption in a disadvantaged neighborhood of Montreal. The study includes a sample of 381 individuals living in Hochelaga-Maisonneuve and the characteristics of 17 supermarkets in the neighborhood. After creating a composite indicator of the community and consumer food environment and using linear regression models, these data provide an estimate on the effect of the food environment and of each factor, after controlling for the socio demographic variables, on the fruit and vegetable consumption of 381 individuals. Data shows that attending a market or a fruit store is the only variable having a statistically significant effect on the consumption of fruits and vegetables in this sample. However, the vast majority of participants acquire their supplies from only four supermarkets. This limit is probably the reason why we do not observe an effect of price and of the general consumer environment. Others explicative variables as the density of healthy shops and the distance travels by the participants had not a significant effect.
