Importantly, health risks associated with obesity depend on body fat distribution, which cannot be assessed only with BMI. Obesity is an independent risk factor for a variety of chronic health conditions, including coronary heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, and certain cancers. In France, obesity in adults increased from 8.5% in 1997 to 15% in 2012. Worldwide, it was recently shown that obesity prevalence increased from 1975 to 2014 by 7.6% and 8.5% in men and women, respectively. Obesity is responsible for more than 3 million death per year worldwide and is the third cause of death in middle- and high-income countries. These findings provide some evidence for the need to consider separately walking and cycling when designing public health measures for prevention of obesity in adults. Conclusion: These results show important differences between walking and cycling in their association with obesity markers in men and women. Results were unaltered when analyses were further adjusted on household and leisure physical activity. Cycling more than 1.5 h/week was associated in men and women with lower weight (-4.3 and -1.4 kg, respectively), waist circumference (-4.4 and -2.1 cm, respectively), and percent body fat (-2.5 and -1.9 % respectively) (all p < 0.001). Results: In analyses not taking into account other types of physical activity (household, leisure), walking more than 2.5 h/week was associated in women with lower weight (-1.8 kg), waist circumference (-1.7 cm) and percent body fat (-1.1%) (all p < 0.001). Methods: In 12,776 adult participants (71.3% women) of the on-going NutriNet Santé web-cohort, we assessed by self-report past-month walking and cycling (for commuting, errands and leisure), and obesity measures were taken during a visit at a clinical center (weight, height, waist circumference, and percent body fat by bioimpedance). The purpose of this study was to analyze associations of walking and cycling behaviors assessed separately with various obesity markers in French adults. Other local draws include the ancient city ruins at Kaunos, where major excavations have been taking place, and wallowing in the open-air thermal mud baths.Background: Research on the associations between walking and cycling with obesity-related phenotypes is growing but relies mostly on the use of BMI. The beach facilities – changing rooms, freshwater showers and a cafe – are decidedly simple, and the nearest overnight accommodation is in Dalyan’s likably no-frills riverside pensions. The beach is reached from the town of Dalyan, where the local boatmen’s cooperative runs regular shuttle services, which take half an hour to wind through the reed beds. Despite lines in the sand which mark where the parasols and the sun loungers stop – the environmental rules are strictly observed – there’s plenty of room on this famously golden and family-friendly strand. Iztuzu, Dalyan, Muğlaīy valiantly fending off every last developer, this vast delta beach has survived as a spectacular stronghold for the endangered loggerhead turtles which nest here on summer nights when the beach is off-limits to visitors. Stay Turan Camping has deluxe tents on wooden platforms (from £34 a night for two half-board) and also houses and bungalows. Famed for diverse fauna and flora, especially its turtles and butterflies, Kabak is also popular with hikers, who use it as a base for exploring local trails and the long-distance Lycian Way. Discovered in recent years, Kabak nevertheless retains a rare beauty, largely because of the care of its devotees and the forest behind the beach, which is home to delightful Crusoe-style camps like Turan’s. This legendary Shangri-la has been at the heart of the Turkish Med’s alternative scene for decades, but rather than being exclusively a hippy hangout, Kabak’s always been open to all-comers.

The raised hair is worth it: at the bottom there’s a hidden sand and shingle beach, yoga platforms, driftwood juice bars and the lingering scent of patchouli. The tarmac ends above Kabak, where a 4WD shuttles visitors down a precipitous mountain track.
