Research finds that risk of obesity lowers when people live in densely populated, urban neighborhoods.
Studying 500,000 Utah citizens, male suburbanite's weighed 10 lbs more than city-dwelling counterparts and women had a 6lb weight difference. Urban neighborhoods developed pre-1950 had the thinnest inhabitants because there was no car culture. Instead, they have parks, restaurants and shops worth walking to, and sidewalks to go there.
