摘要：Socioeconomic position shapes individuals’ exposures and vulnerability to both positive and adverse environmental conditions. Given the importance of the food environment in shaping dietary intake, and the role of diet in health, it is therefore possible that health inequities may be at least partially attributable to greater exposures to, and/or heightened vulnerability to the effects of unhealthy food environments among socioeconomically disadvantaged groups.
