Associations between neighbourhood socioeconomic disadvantage and body mass index: longitudinal evidence from the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia Survey (2006–2021)
Using methodologically rigorous epidemiological approaches along with longitudinal, national data, this study found strong evidence of neighbourhood socioeconomic inequalities in BMI. Understanding the neighbourhood-level mechanisms likely to exacerbate these inequalities remains a future research priority.
