Weight gain or loss not impacted by built environments: Study ANI | Updated: May 25, 2021 16:15 IST
Washington [US], May 25 (ANI): The findings of a new study led by the University of Washington suggest that people don t gain or lose weight because they live near a fast-food restaurant or supermarket. It found living in a more walkable , dense neighbourhood likely only has a small impact on weight.
The study was published earlier this month in the International Journal of Obesity. These built-environment amenities have been seen in past research as essential contributors to losing weight or tending toward obesity.
The idea appears obvious: If you live next to a fast-food restaurant, you ll eat there more and thus gain weight. Or, if you have a supermarket nearby, you ll shop there, eat healthier and thus lose weight. Live in a neighborhood that makes walking and biking easier and you ll get out, exercise more and burn more calories.
