Accessibility is a factor in determining whether people use physical activity resources and ultimately in whether they do physical activity. Similar results were found in women: Women who lived near more physical activity resources and parks were more physically active than those who lived near fewer physical activity resources and parks (Jilcott et al. Factors related to the accessibility of physical activity resources, along with physical activity resource features, amenities, incivilities...
If the obesogenic genetic risk profile has remained the same in humans since the obesity epidemic began, what has changed? Numerous genetic factors may contribute to an obesogenic genetic risk profile, but this profile is only an indicator of the potential for someone to gain excess weight under obesogenic conditions. The simple answer is that our environment has changed; the complexity lies in determining the aspects of our environment that have changed to make it obesogenic and how we can...
