Food Outlets in Montevideo: Implications for Retail Food Environment Research in the Majority World.
Objective: To identify food outlets in Montevideo, Uruguay and to compare the types of outlets selling different food groups across areas of the city with different socioeconomic status (SES).
Design: Cross-sectional field survey of outlets selling foods and beverages conducted between September, 2023 and February, 2024.
Setting: A sample of 106 census tracts was obtained using probability proportional to size sampling.
Participants: All outlets selling foods and beverages within the census tracts.
Main outcome measure: Number, density, and distribution of food outlets selling different food groups.
Analysis: Kruskal-Wallis, Fisher exact test, and chi-square test of independence were used to compare outcome measures in census tracts with different SES.
Results: A total of 1,217 food outlets were identified. Small stores corresponded to a relevant share of the outlets selling unprocessed foods, whereas ultraprocessed products were ubiquitous. The proportion and density of food outlets selling fruits and vegetables and fresh meat were significantly higher (P < 0.05) in low SES tracts. The distribution of outlets selling different food groups significantly (P < 0.01) differed across tracts.
Conclusions and implications: Results highlight the importance of capturing the local food sources that shape the availability of healthy and unhealthy foods in the majority world.

The Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior (JNEB), the official journal of the Society for Nutrition Education and Behavior, is a refereed, scientific periodical that serves as a global resource for all professionals with an interest in nutrition education; nutrition and physical activity behavior theories and intervention outcomes; complementary and alternative medicine related to nutrition behaviors; food environment; food, nutrition, and physical activity communication strategies including technology; nutrition-related economics; food safety education; and scholarship of learning related to these areas.
The purpose of JNEB is to document and disseminate original research and emerging issues and practices relevant to these areas worldwide. The Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior welcomes evidence-based manuscripts that provide new insights and useful findings related to nutrition education research, practice and policy. The content areas of JNEB reflect the diverse interests in nutrition and physical activity related to public health, nutritional sciences, education, behavioral economics, family and consumer sciences, and eHealth, including the interests of community-based nutrition-practitioners. As the Society''s official journal, JNEB also includes policy statements, issue perspectives, position papers, and member communications.
