An article on eMaxHealth, an independent health news organization, reported convenience stores may be linked to obesity in women following a study by UB researchers that showed that women who live closer to supermarkets have lower body mass index compared to those who live closer to convenience stores and restaurants. The research also is the subject of articles distributed by ANI, a South Asian news service, UPI and Science Daily.
