This study compared the local availability and accessibility of healthy foods in neighborhoods in Madrid, Spain and Baltimore, US. Researchers used audits and GIS mapping to examine food store types, availability of healthy foods using indexes, and pedestrian access within 200m, 400m, and 800m of each neighborhood. The results showed Madrid had higher healthy food availability and fruit/vegetable indexes in stores, but Baltimore residents had greater access to stores within walking distance. The researchers concluded local agencies should promote interventions to improve small stores and markets and walkable environments.
