  abstract = {{O}bjectives {T}he aim of this study was to characterise the local foods and beverages sold and advertised in three deprived urban {A}frican neighbourhoods. {D}esign {C}ross-sectional observational study. {W}e undertook an audit of all food outlets (outlet type and food sold) and food advertisements. {D}escriptive statistics were used to summarise exposures. {L}atent class analysis was used to explore the interactions between food advertisements, food outlet types and food type availability. {S}etting {T}hree deprived neighbourhoods in {A}frican cities: {J}amestown in {A}ccra, {H}o {D}ome in {H}o (both {G}hana) and {M}akadara in {N}airobi ({K}enya). {M}ain outcome measure {T}ypes of foods and beverages sold and/or advertised. {R}esults {J}amestown (80.5%) and {M}akadara (70.9%) were dominated by informal vendors. {T}here was a wide diversity of foods, with high availability of healthy (eg, staples, vegetables) and unhealthy foods (eg, processed/fried foods, sugar-sweetened beverages). {A}lmost half of all advertisements were for sugar-sweetened beverages (48.3%), with higher exposure to alcohol adverts compared with other items as well (28.5%). {W}e identified five latent classes which demonstrated the clustering of healthier foods in informal outlets, and unhealthy foods in formal outlets. {C}onclusion {O}ur study presents one of the most detailed geospatial exploration of the urban food environment in {A}frica. {T}he high exposure of sugar-sweetened beverages and alcohol both available and advertised represent changing urban food environments. {T}he concentration of unhealthy foods and beverages in formal outlets and advertisements of unhealthy products may offer important policy opportunities for regulation and action.},
