Also, environmental causes have made it easier for people to have more sedentary lifestyles, said Keith-Thomas Ayoob, associate professor in the Department of Pediatrics at Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
"Restoring a more active lifestyle throughout the life cycle is critical to managing weight, not question about it," Ayoob said.
