  • Non-Dietary Factors Associated with Glycemic Status among Adults Diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Malawi

    Getrude Mphwanthe, Dave Weatherspoon et al.ARTICLESocial Work in Public Health2020

    We assessed glycemic status and associations with socio-demographic, biomedical, anthropometric, and physical activity (PA) levels among adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) (n = 428; urban n = 288; semi-urban n = 140) using a cross-sectional study. Multivariate linear regression was used to determine factors associated with glycosylated hemoglobin (A1C) . A1C was clinically elevated ≥8% for 60.3% of the participants. Overall, age and PA l…

  • Stunting, food security, markets and food policy in Rwanda

    Open AccessDave D Weatherspoon, Shazia Rafiullah Miller et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2019

    Findings suggest that agricultural policies may be subsidizing poor dietary behavior in that the aggregation of production encourages households to sell high quality nutritious food such as fruit and vegetables, for more voluminous amounts of nutritionally substandard goods, hence low dietary diversity. However, it is less clear if rural food markets are capable of supplying diverse and nutritious foods at affordable prices on a consistent basis,…

  • Double Up Food Bucks program effects on SNAP recipients' fruit and vegetable purchases

    Open AccessMarie Steele‐Adjognon, Marie Steele-Adjognon et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2017

    This study provides valuable insight on how a nutrition program influences a low-income, urban, Hispanic community's fruit and vegetable purchase behavior. Policy recommendations include either removing or lowering the purchase hurdle for incentive eligibility and dropping the Michigan grown requirement to better align with the customers' preferences for fresh fruits and vegetables

  • Fresh vegetable demand behaviour in an urban food desert

    Open AccessDave Weatherspoon, Dave D Weatherspoon et al.ARTICLEUrban Studies2015References: 34

    Food deserts are associated with lower quality diets and higher obesity rates. One hypothesis for their emergence is that retailers avoid food deserts because demand side factors such as low income limit demand for healthy foods. A competing hypothesis is that supply side factors cause prohibitively high costs of operation for grocers – leading to limited access to healthy foods and thus low expressed demand. The direction of causality has import…

  • Price and Expenditure Elasticities for Fresh Fruits in an Urban Food Desert

    Open AccessDave Weatherspoon, Dave D Weatherspoon et al.ARTICLEUrban Studies2013Cited by: 5References: 56

    This study addresses the knowledge gap concerning the demand for fresh fruit in an urban food desert, where healthy foods are scarce by definition. Using register data from a non-profit greengrocer in Detroit—one of America’s largest and most severe food deserts—expenditure and price elasticities of fresh fruits are estimated. The results show that, if urban food desert consumers are given access to normally priced produce of acceptable quality, …
