Street markets can contribute to food security, since they are a source of fresh food and comparably inexpensive goods, being very relevant for low-income groups. Their relevance is even higher when considering older people, due to their often-constrained financial resources and possibilities to move. To assess the potential contribution of street...
RESUMEN: La caminabilidad de calles o barrios puede ser evaluada de dos formas: por medio de modelos, usando bases de datos geográficas sobre el uso de suelo, tal como lo hace Walkscore.com, o a través de encuestas focalizadas en peatones. Ambas evaluaciones de caminabilidad ayudan a planificar barrios con mejor accesibilidad, diseñar intervencione...
Accessibility is crucial to establishing and maintaining a nutritious and healthy diet. Although much of the literature on access to healthy food has focused on study areas in the Global North, the topic is of growing relevance to other regions across the globe. In Chile, where the prevalence of chronic diseases related to obesity and diet has incr...

... Moreover, it would be relevant to examine how older people move and access opportunities individually, and to what extent their mobility is related to and motivated by their access to relevant services and equipment. Such analysis would benefit from the use of different research methods, be they walking interviews [29][30][31], apps [94], surveys [95], or measurements with GPS devices and accelerometers [96,97]. In general, it would be important to consider the access to healthy food as a multi-scale issue, involving not only the metropolitan scale here examined, but also neighborhoods and public spaces like streets and squares. ...

... According to a market survey, 51% of Chileans attend street markets, with a higher incidence in the lower socio-economic groups [61]. Especially middle-and low-income clients buy almost exclusively in street markets [62], while only affluent consumers may prefer supermarkets, despite being more expensive [63,64]; as a result, the spatial distribution of ferias libres and supermarkets is often complementary [35]. Instead, convenience store and local formal stores are not very relevant in relation to the provision of food [65] or may even contribute to unhealthy food environments [66]. ...
