Abstract
The national survey shows higher levels of obesity among public housing tenants and home buyers compared to home owners. These results are lo an extent due lo higher instances of illness and disability among public housing tenants, and are also associated with known health risk factors. Yet differences in body mass index between tenures persist after controlling for a range of risk factors and sociodemographic indicators, suggesting the presence of cultural differences and different consumption patterns. Further investigation is required to establish the nature and extent that patterned health inequalities and associated risk factors are linked to housing tenure.
