Abstract

type="main" xml:lang="es"> Resumen . En este artículo probamos mediante el uso de datos de condados no metropolitanos de los EE.UU, si el acceso a alimentos contribuye a la relación bien establecida entre la pobreza y la mala salud. Nuestro análisis confirma la relación entre la pobreza y la mala salud y que el acceso a alimentos más saludables está asociado con mejores resultados para la salud pública en los condados rurales. Se encontraron pruebas contradictorias de que la relación entre la pobreza y la mala salud es más fuerte en las zonas rurales con acceso limitado a los alimentos. El acceso a alimentos más saludables podría disminuir la relación entre la pobreza y la mala salud, pero es necesario considerar una perspectiva regional cuando se piensa en las comunidades rurales y la salud pública.
