Neighborhood resources for physical activity and healthy foods and their association with insulin resistanceAmy H Auchincloss
Department of Epidemiology, School of Public Health, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109 2029, USA
Epidemiology 19:146-57. 2008..Little is known about the influence of the built environment, and in particular neighborhood resources, on health. We hypothesized that neighborhood resources for physical activity and healthy foods are associated with insulin resistance...
