Study: Fast-food density affects obesity
January 20, 2008
HealthDay News: People who live in neighborhoods with more fast-food restaurants are more likely to be obese than are people who live near more full-service restaurants, according to a new study.
"A lot of people have tried to understand why the obesity epidemic has come up, and some people hypothesize that eating out more might have something to do with it," said Dr. Virginia Chang, senior author of the study and assistant professor of medicine and sociology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. "Our findings suggest that eating out per se is not necessarily bad."
