A study from Stanford University reported in The American Journal of Medicine
suggests the rise in obesity in the US is likely due to increased sedentary
 lifestyles across the nation, and not eating too many calories.

The researchers came to this conclusion after studying data for the last 20 years from the
US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) that shows there has been
a sharp decline in levels of leisure time physical activity among Americans -
especially among young women - accompanied by an increase in average body mass index
(BMI), while calorie consumption has remained somewhat steady.

Lead author Uri Ladabaum, Associate Professor of Medicine in Stanford University
School of Medicine, and colleagues analyzed trends in obesity, waistline obesity, physical activity
and calorie intake in American adults up to 2010.

In 2010 over half of American women reported no leisure-time exercise

BMI and average waist size have also climbed steadily
