Common use of Obesity Clause in Contracts

Obesity. Obesity is a risk factor for developing many medical conditions such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease, type-2 diabetes, colon cancer and breast cancer in women (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇, 2004). Controlling obesity prevalence in the population can thus help decrease the incidence of those conditions. Based on a study of over 15,000 American adults between 53 and 57 years, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and White (2005) found that engaging in regular physical activities of various intensity, such as jogging, cycling and aerobics for over 10 years can prevent weight gain associated with aging for people over age 45. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al. (2019) conducted a systematic review on the association between physical activity and prevention of weight gain in adults. They identified a dose-response relationship between physical activity and weight loss. Prevention of weight gain is most pronounced with over 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous intensity (≥3 Metabolic Equivalent of Task [MET] hours) physical activity per week. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al. (2019) concluded that public health initiatives to curb obesity should include physical activity as a means of prevention.
