It was discovered when researchers studied 400,000 people in the United States. People living in low-lying and coastal areas are more susceptible to obesity is four to five times more than people who live in higher ground.

"I was surprised by the effect of altitude on the human body. I do not think the pattern is concerned," said Dr. Jameson Voss, researchers from the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, as reported by NBC News (12/02).

The reason behind the difference in obesity risk between regions of residence is still not found. The only explanation is that the height of the region eventually affects appetite, growth hormone, and the number of calories that are discussed every day.

Previous research conducted by Cynthia Beall suggests that the higher a person's county of residence, the more calories you burn as well.

The results of comparative research is that people who live in the lowlands have an average BMI of 26.6 while living in the highlands have a BMI of about 24.2.

However, Voss stressed that the results of this study does not mean people who live in the mountains or highlands impossible to obesity. Chances are it would still exist if the person does not pay attention to the food he consumed.
