Key Points Question Does an association exist between restaurant marketing and obesity risk in US adults? Findings In this longitudinal cohort study of 29 285 920 person-quarters, a $1 increase in quarterly advertising per capita across all media and restaurant types was not associated with changes in body mass index overall but was associated with a 0.053-unit increase in body mass index for patients in low-income counties across 44 states. Meaning These study results suggest that restaurant advertising is associated with modest weight gain among US adults in low-income counties.
