AB  - OBJECTIVE: We aimed to analyze the relationship of community food environments 
      with childhood obesity in a medium-sized Brazilian city. METHODS: This is a 
      cross-sectional study with 366 schoolchildren aged 8 and 9 years. Children's body 
      mass index (BMI), waist circumference and concentrations of total cholesterol 
      (TC), high cholesterol density lipoprotein (HDL-c), low cholesterol density 
      lipoprotein (LDL-c) and triglycerides (TG) were measured. The parent's 
      nutritional status was assessed by calculating the BMI. All food stores within a 
      200- and 400-m radius buffers of schools and households were evaluated. The food 
      stores were classified as healthy, unhealthy, and mixed according to the 
      predominance of foods commercialized. Binary logistic regression models were 
      proposed for each category. RESULTS: Over seventy percent (70.2%) of the food 
      stores were categorized as "unhealthy". The prevalence of obesity was 15.6%. In 
      the 200-m buffer around schools, there was an inverse and direct association 
      between obesity and the presence of healthy food stores and unhealthy food 
      stores, respectively. Around the households, there was an inverse association 
      between the presence of healthy food stores and obesity in both buffers. 
      CONCLUSION: The community food environment may be protective or potentiating 
      childhood obesity, depending on the access and types of food sold.
