Active transportation is inversely related to obesity in these countries. Although the results do not prove causality, they suggest that active transportation could be one of the factors that explain international differences in obesity rates.<\/p>\n<p xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" xmlns:xsi=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2001\/XMLSchema-instance\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" xmlns:xsi=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2001\/XMLSchema-instance\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" xmlns:xsi=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2001\/XMLSchema-instance\">Bassett, D.
