Background Internationally, the prevalence of adults with obesity is a major public health concern. Few studies investigate explanatory pathways between fast-food outlets and body mass index (BMI). We use structural equation modelling to explore an alternative hypothesis existing research using area-level deprivation as predictor BMI diet quality mediators. Methods Adults (n=7544) from wave II Yorkshire Health Study provided self-reported diet, height weight (used calculate BMI). Diet was...
