Document Summary
Role of physical activity in the primary prevention of obesity. Definition of primary prevention: measures taken to prevent or avoid development of disease. People more sedentary tend to be in the obese category. Data is using bmi as a lvl of obesity. Muscle mass people highly active, mesomorphs, makes them look like they"re more obese artificially increasing data explain why we have higher lvl in active men. Overall in adults, more physically active you are, the less chance you have of becoming obese. No relationship btwn pa and obesity in children. Hours of physical activity < 7, 7 - < 14, > 14. Regardless of how much pa these kid are doing there"s no link to obesity levels in children. Not much relationship btwn amt of pa an individual is doing and lvls of obesity. A little skewed in boys section, highest lvls of overweight in active group (may have something to due with muscle mass only bmi measured)
