Parents who set and stick to rules have thinner kids - study Posted: 01 Dec 2013 07:49 PM PST When both parents set clear guidelines about household routines, children had a lower body mass index and were thinner, said researchers from the Murdoch Children's Research Institute in Melbourne. The study involved 4,002 children and their parents who participated in a long-term study. Findings were published online this week in the journal Pediatrics. Prior research has found that parents can change up a few household routines to help their kids fight the battle of the bulge. Published September in the journal Jama Pediatrics, US and Canadian researchers implemented a home-based intervention to help young kids lose weight by curbing TV time, increasing sleep time, and encouraging families to dine together. - AFP/Relaxnews, December 2, 2013. |
