Ans: A
Attention has been cast on the role that active living plays in obesity prevention among youth in urban and, more recently, in rural areas. The concept of active living incorporates an ecological, population-based approach to physical activity by recognizing that individual behavior, social environments, physical environments, and policies all contribute to behavior change. Active living targets entire communities to promote accessible and safe opportunities for residents to engage in physical activity during transportation, occupation, recreation, and while at home.
