Living near three or more bars, fast-food restaurants could raise heart failure risk

Living in areas with a high density of pubs, bars and fast-food restaurants was associated with increased risk for incident HF, according to findings published in Circulation: Heart Failure.
HF risk associated with high ready-to-eat food environment density was especially high for those with lower education or those living in areas with high urbanicity or lower density of physical exercise facilities, according to researchers.
“Most previous research on the relation between nutrition and human health has been focused on food quality, while neglecting the impact of food environment,”
