Food and beverage advertising in Hong Kong mass transit railway stations.

CONCLUSIONS: Unhealthy F&B advertising in MTR stations is prevalent regardless of SES and school density, and persuasive marketing strategies were infrequently used. These suggest that a ban on unhealthy F&B advertising around schools or the use of persuasive marketing strategies alone would be ineffective in Hong Kong. To align with the recommendation from WHO, a universal ban of junk food advertising should be enacted. PMID: 32524925 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
