Worldwide news—disease prevention:
Obesity has been a big problem since centuries; particularly women have to face great traumas due to extra weight. The health specialists often recommend normal weight for disease prevention. Obesity is a hurdle in the way of disease prevention, the health news reporters have revealed.
According to the news reporters of disease prevention and health news, the researchers have found that lazy and inactive white women are more prone towards getting obese than inactive black women.
The news reporters told that the researchers studied 12 southeastern American states, where obese women are in largest population.
The data was collected from 22,948 black women and 7,830 white women. The results made it clear that obesity was 4.5 times greater in white women and 1.5 times greater in black women in maximum laziness.
According to health and disease prevention news reporters, the researchers explained that there might be difference in the metabolism rates of both races or it may be the influences of external environment that causes the difference. It may also be that the laziness of black women is less than that of white women, which makes them less prone to obesity. The exact reason remains unclear and needs further study.
