The main objective of this paper is to review the scientific literature on the association between the characteristics of the built environment around schools and the lifestyle habits of young people. [...] The second objective is to describe the characteristics of the built environment and the environment of lifestyle-related services in the vicinity of schools in Québec. [...] To be included in the analysis of the existing literature, the publications must have explored the association between a measure of physical activity, weight, or sedentary or food-related behaviour and at least one objectively-measured variable of the built environment and services in the vicinity of the school. [...] The information extracted from the articles includes the names of the authors, the name of the publication, the year of publication, the region or country where the study was conducted, the sample size, the study design, the age of the students, the spatial scale, the objectively-measured built environment and service indicators, and individual measurements (dependent variables). [...] Lastly, information was extracted regarding the association observed between the dependent variable and the objectively-measured variables of the built environment and services in the vicinity of the school.
