Editor’S Note: The Coastal Business Journal’S Commitment To Coastal Communities, Mark Mitchell

The Coastal Business Journal

Approximately a third of the world’s population lives in a coastal region. While coastal communities comprise about 10% of the land mass of the contiguous United States (e.g., excluding Alaska and Hawaii), they are home to 40% of the U.S. population. From its inception, the Coastal Business Journal (CBJ) has sought to highlight research on issues pertaining to business administration and business development within coastal geographic regions. Looking forward, it is our desire to expand the availability of research pertaining to coastal communities in the pages of the CBJ.

Obesity And Health Alarms: Is It Only About Food Deserts?, Rubina Vohra

The Coastal Business Journal

ABSTRACT

Society is well aware of the health impacts and societal costs of obesity. This study examines the variables that best predict obesity such as population, poverty, household income, education, unemployment, uninsured, and being a single parent. Simply ensuring and improving access to healthy food is an insufficient public policy. This study uses both descriptive and analytical methods and utilizes a comparison of a cross-section data set. The results show that access to healthy food had little impact on the obesity rate. Rather, a respondent’s race, poverty, and education are more significant predictors of obesity.
