Abstract
This study examined the association between sociodemographic factors, Physical Activity (PA) engagement, and the selected Food Purchasing
Practices (FPP) among people living in a low socioeconomic peri-urban and rural area of two provinces of South Africa. Four hundred participants were randomly selected from two communities, a township in Cape Town and a rural community in the Eastern Cape
where the Prospective Urban and Rural Epidemiological (PURE) study was implemented. Data collected included socio-demographic
characteristics, FPP and PA. Logistic regressions were performed to identify the associations between sociodemographic factors, PA involvement
and selected FPP, and Odds Ratios (OR) were calculated with 95% Confidence Intervals (CIs). All statistical tests were two-tailed at p<0.05
