We have reviewed whether the complications of obesity can be attributed to low levels of physical activity and fitness, or if fatness per se has adverse effects on health. In both observational and interventional studies, fatness and inactivity seem to be independent risk factors. Abdominal obesity is a predictor of cardiovascular disease, which is independent of low fitness level, and obesity affects other risk factors adversely than inactivity does. However, physical activity does reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease. It is concluded that both inactivity and obesity have an adverse effect on health.
我们已经探讨了肥胖并发症是可归因于低水平的身体活动和健康状况，还是肥胖本身就对健康有不利影响。在观察性研究和干预性研究中，肥胖和缺乏运动似乎都是独立的风险因素。腹部肥胖是心血管疾病的一个预测指标，它独立于健康水平低下，而且肥胖对其他风险因素的不利影响比缺乏运动更大。然而，身体活动确实能降低2型糖尿病和心脏病的风险。得出的结论是，缺乏运动和肥胖都会对健康产生不利影响。
