something to keep in mind

Excerpt from a Lancet article I was just reading for class:

A survey in Atlanta, GA, USA, found that each additional hour spent in a car per day is associated with a 6% increase in the likelihood of obesity.

Frank LD, Andresen MA, Schmid TL. Obesity relationships with community design, physical activity, and time spent in cars. Am J Prev Med 2004; 27: 87–96.
