Abstract

A poor diet has crucial impacts on individuals and society as a whole. In addition to individual preferences, there is evidence that people’s diet is related to their social, economic, and geographical environment, including their mobility context. However, few studies have an empirical, integrated perspective of these previous dimensions. This paper presents an empirical effort to understand people’s food purchasing and eating preferences concerning their mobility dynamics, social networks, habits, perceptions, activities, and sociodemographics, going beyond a static distance-based food supply perspective. The case study corresponds to the city of Concepción, Chile, using data that included nutrition, mobility, social networks, habits, perceptions, activities, and sociodemographics. The relationships between people’s eating and shopping patterns and these different contextual dimensions were analyzed through joint multivariate statistical modelling.

The empirical findings suggest that greater spatial proximity to the purchase of food does not significantly impact the quality of the diet. However, greater proximity to food supply affects the frequency and characteristics of the transport mode to the shopping trips, impacting the diet quality, especially in the case of open street markets. This relationship shows that mobility patterns play an essential role in the impact of spatial accessibility on the purchase of food and the quality of people’s diets. The results also confirm that food consumption and purchasing decisions go beyond individual sociodemographics and are influenced by other aspects of people’s overall mobility patterns, social capital, and attitudes.

食品购买和饮食模式:评估人们的流动性、社交网络和态度对健康饮食的影响
不良的饮食习惯对个人和整个社会都有至关重要的影响。除个人偏好外,有证据表明人们的饮食与其社会、经济和地理环境(包括流动环境)有关。然而,很少有研究从实证的角度对这些因素进行综合分析。本文通过实证研究,了解人们在流动动态、社交网络、习惯、认知、活动和社会人口统计学等方面的食品购买和饮食偏好,超越了基于静态距离的食品供应视角。案例研究以智利康塞普西翁市为对象,使用的数据包括营养、流动性、社交网络、习惯、认知、活动和社会人口统计。通过联合多元统计建模分析了人们的饮食和购物模式与这些不同环境维度之间的关系。然而,距离食品供应较近的地方会影响购物出行的频率和交通方式的特点,从而影响饮食质量,尤其是在露天街边市场的情况下。这种关系表明,流动模式在空间可达性对食品购买和人们饮食质量的影响中起着至关重要的作用。研究结果还证实,食品消费和购买决策超越了个人的社会人口统计,受到人们整体流动模式、社会资本和态度等其他方面的影响。
