Abstract
We aimed to analyze the change in the retail food environment of Mexican municipalities from 2010 to 2020, and to assess if these trends were modified by socioeconomic deprivation. We used data from the National Statistical Directory of Economic Units. Changes in the food store count were estimated using fixed-effects Poisson regression models, including coefficients for time, socioeconomic deprivation, and their interaction. We found a rapid growth in convenience stores, seed-grain stores, and supermarkets while small food retail stores declined. Urban areas had a higher count of all types of food stores; however, the steepest increases in food stores were observed in non-urban areas. The increase in convenience stores, supermarkets, specialty food stores, fruit-vegetable stores, and seed-grain stores was greater in the most deprived areas, compared to the least deprived areas. There has been a substantial expansion and rapid change in Mexico's food environment, mainly driven by increases in convenience stores and supermarkets in more deprived and less urbanized areas.
•Small food stores represent 83% of the retail food environment of Mexico in 2020.•Convenience stores showed the highest increase over time, followed by seed-grain stores and supermarkets.•Increases in convenience stores and supermarkets in more deprived and less urbanized areas.•Small food stores decreased in the least deprived areas and increased in the most deprived areas.•Results may inform public policies aimed at regulating food environment.
