The study subjects were 7,020 low-income children, 36 to 59 months of age living in Cincinnati, OH. Obesity was defined as a measured body mass index ( 95th percentile. The distance between each child's residence and the nearest public playground and fast food restaurant was determined with geographic information systems. Neighborhood safety was defined by the number of police-reported crimes per 1000 residents per year in each of 46 city neighborhoods. 9.2% of the children were obese, 76% black, and 23% white. There was no association between child obesity and proximity to playgrounds, proximity to fast food restaurants, or level of neighborhood crime. The association between child obesity and playground proximity did not differ by neighborhood crime level. 2003-04-17 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1046381248 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1046381248 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
