Resumo: 	The association between types of food access and rising adult obesity rates is increasingly recognized, as a complement to the effects of declining physical activity.  Previous studies have examined the effects on obesity of only a limited set of store types, such as grocery stores, fast food restaurants and big-box retailers, and they have ignored that certain behavioral factors, such as could play a role in the relationship between food access and obesity.  This analysis includes a comprehensive array of food-providing establishments, including limited- and full-service restaurants controlling for fruit-and-vegetables (F&amp;V) consumption (lagged temporally) using a panel data set for the continental U.S. states covering the period 1997-2005.  The results show clearly that the density of food stores across the states matters.  In addition, important and subtle nuances emerge in the relationships among obesity, F&amp;V consumption and the different types of stores when we allow for interaction effects.
