  • 1. The local restaurant environment in relation to eating out and sugary drink intake among Canadian children and youth
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X202300800001
    Description: Accessibility of food retail in communities may play a role in shaping the food choices of local residents. Canadian youth are frequent patrons of fast-food and other restaurant types, such as full-service restaurants and cafés. Studies linking local exposure to various restaurant types with diet-related behaviours and health outcomes have, to date, revealed mixed results. The current study uses a recently developed high-quality pan-Canadian dataset of food retail measures and a large population-based sample of Canadian children and youth to examine links between the local restaurant environment and the frequency of eating food from restaurants and intake of sugary drinks.

  • 4. Eating away from home in Canada: Impact on dietary intake
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X202100800003
    Description:

    Little empirical attention has been paid to patterns of Canadians' consumption of food away from home (FAFH) before the pandemic. According to a 2004 national-level dietary survey, one-quarter of Canadians reported having eaten something from a fast-food outlet on the previous day. More recent data on Canadians' FAFH consumption would serve as a valuable benchmark to estimate any post-pandemic changes in Canadians' dietary habits. This study used 2015 Canadian Community Health Survey-Nutrition, the most recent national-level dietary data available, to characterize patterns of FAFH consumption in a restaurant setting and to assess differences in the dietary intake profile on a day when FAFH was consumed or not consumed.
