We compared geographic information system (GIS)- and Census-based approaches for measuring the physical and social neighborhood environment at the census tract-level versus and audit approach on associations with body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR). Data were used from the 2012-2014 Women and Their Children's Health (WaTCH) Study (=940). Generalized linear models were used to obtain odds ratios (ORs) for BMI (≥30 kg/m), WC (>88 cm), and WHR (>0.85). Using an audit approach, more adverse neighborhood characteristics were associated with a higher odds of WC (OR: 1.10; 95% CI: 1.05, 1.15) and WHR (OR: 1.09; 95% CI: 1.05, 1.14) after adjustment for age, race/ethnicity, income, and oil spill exposure. There were no significant associations between GIS- and Census- based measures with obesity in adjusted models. Quality aspects of the neighborhood environment captured by audits at the individual-level may be more relevant to obesity than physical or social aspects at the census-tract level.
