“…In the present study inadequate help with clinical difficulties was associated with increased BMI. Thus, although we found no direct correlation between BMI and PA, as would be expected 40) a specific component of instrumental social support 41) relevant to the physician's work environment was significantly associated with these two LRCRF.

“…Additionally, the degree to which social support influences physical activity may vary by age, where in comparison to young females, greater influence of social support on physical activity has been found in middle to older aged females (DeBourdeaudhuij & Sallis, 2002). In general, higher levels of social support from family and friends are identified as important determinants of physical activity behavior among women, older adults, and overweight populations (Blanchard et al, 2005;Booth et al, 2000;Castro et al, 1999;Eyler et al, 1999). Interestingly, social support is also associated with frequency, intensity, and duration of activity (Eyler et al, 1999), and it may be especially important for MVPA performed in the leisure domain (Sternfeld, Ainsworth, & Queensberry, 1999).…”

Being overweight further exacerbates the aforementioned risk factors and decreases the likelihood that the person will engage in physical activity (Blanchard et al, 2005).…”
