(UPI) U.S. researchers say low-income women in small cities have a higher chance of obesity.
Researchers at Kansas State University in Manhattan link higher risk of obesity in cities with fewer than 40,000 people to the availability of food stores -- rather than the lack of them.
Women who resided in these cities had an 18 percent increase in obesity risk when living within a 1-mile radius of a supermarket. The presence of small grocery and convenience stores also was associated with an increased risk of obesity.
