This directly contradicts the previous belief that people living in rural areas are less likely to gain weight because they eat healthier, uNPRocessed foods and do more physical labor. That may have been the case, continued Ezzati, but as rural areas industrialize, life starts to change. People don't need to walk to fetch water because they have running water. They don't need to walk to other places because roads are being built and cars are more common. These changes bring a lot of health benefits, added Ezzati, "but they also mean less moving around and less physical labor."
这与先前的观念恰恰相反--生活在农村地区的人不太可能增重,因为他们吃的更健康(都是未加工的食物)、干的体力活也更多。以前可能是这种情况,伊扎提继续道,但随着农村地区工业化,他们的生活也发生了变化。他们不需要走很远的路去提水,因为自来水已接通。他们也不需要走到其它地方,因为道路已修建、汽车已成常态。这些变化带来了很多健康益处,伊扎提补充道,"但这也意味着运动和体力活的减少。"
As rural areas become wealthier, people living there can afford more food and, often, less healthy food. This means they're eating the same processed foods as their urban counterparts, without the other benefits of city living that make it easier to be physically active. Notably, there are more sports facilities and gyms in urban areas, and far more opportunities to walk.
