The association between urbanization characteristics and food availability by area was analyzed. The food commercial environment was georefenced with the QGIS 2.18.4 program - Las Palmas.Results: the geographical areas were categorized as: Urbanization level 1 (reached or exceeded 75% of the urbanization indicators studied, central, northern and western areas) and Urbanization level 2 (did not reach 75% of the indicators, southern and eastern areas). The availability of margarine (p=0.04) and packaged bread (p=0.01) was higher in areas with lower levels of urbanization.Conclusions: urbanization indicators significantly affected the commercial availability of margarine and packaged breads. |
