Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Children who live in neighborhoods with parks and playgrounds have more access to outdoor physical activity and are therefore more likely to be physically active, which can reduce their risk of obesity. While living in more rural settings may provide more outdoor space, there may be fewer parks and playgrounds available. Warmer climates may encourage more outdoor activity but are not as strong of a factor as neighborhood resources. Urban neighborhoods within larger cities may have fewer parks and playgrounds and higher levels of air pollution, which can discourage physical activity.
