The Healthy Food Environment score is a composite measure that includes GIS-derived density of favorable food stores and survey-based measures of perceptions of healthy food availability

a

Model 1: Associations between average food environment composite measure standard score, modeled continuously, and average AHEI score over time and between individuals

b

Model 2: Associations between change in local food environment composite measure standard score, modeled continuously, and change in AHEI score over follow-up

All models adjust for age, sex, education, moving status, per capita adjusted income, neighborhood SES
