Geographic Association Between Income Inequality and Obesity Among Adults in New York State

PEER REVIEWED

A map of New York State counties shows geographic distribution of obesity among men based on ordinary least squares (OLS) coefficients. OLS coefficients are larger in the southeast and smaller in the west.

Figure 1.
Results of geographically weighted regression (GWR) tests for men, mapping the individual ordinary least squares (OLS) coefficient constructed by GWR to each county in New York State. Data are from the American Community Survey and from CDC County Data Indicators estimates (11).
