Does Food Retail Access Influence Dietary Intake?
Does food retail access influence dietary intake? Martin White A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Medicine (MD) School of Health & Population Sciences College of Medical & Dental Sciences University of Birmingham February 2010 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Abstract The extent to which the food retail environment, including the availability, price and quality of foodstuffs, has an impact on what people eat remains unclear. This study aimed to determine whether the retail environment, of a household‟s usual main food store or of the area surrounding the home, is independently associated with the dietary intake of individual householders. The study employed a cross-sectional design and comprised simultaneous surveys of all retail outlets selling foodstuffs, and of households and the individuals living in them in the city of Newcastle upon Tyne, UK in 2000-2002. 5044 adults aged 16-97 years living in 3153 households provided data, including a 134-item food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) and detailed socio-demographic information. Detailed data on 33 commonly consumed foods was obtained from 560 food stores.

2010 Retail Foods United Kingdom
THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Required Report - public distribution Date: 2/3/2011 GAIN Report Number: United Kingdom Retail Foods 2010 Approved By: Daryl A. Brehm Prepared By: Julie Vasquez-Nicholson Report Highlights: In the UK the retail grocery industry is concentrated with eighty-two percent market share in the hands of just five supermarket chains. The remainder is scattered over hundreds of outlets. This report overviews the characteristics of UK retail outlets and how best to place U.S. products in the UK market. Post: London Executive Summary: SECTION I. MARKET SUMMARY Overview Over the last 12 months, the UK food and drink industry has faced challenging trading conditions as shoppers, manufacturers and retailers have been impacted by a range of factors. Increased pressure on household budgets, unemployment, the banking crisis, and the availability of credit continues to impact consumer spending. Despite these challenges, the UK food and grocery market remains robust. While not recession proof, food and grocery is more resilient to the current downturn in the economic market than other sectors. The UK grocery market was worth £150.8 billion ($241.3 billion) for calendar year 2010. This is an increase of 3.1 percent over 2009. Groceries account for 12.8 percent of total household spending in the UK, making it the third largest area of expenditure, following housing and transport. Food and grocery expenditures account for 53p in every £1.00 of retail spending (excluding restaurants). 21p in every £1.00 spent on food and grocery is spent in convenience stores.
