Recent study of the is linked to the weight of the children were excluded from their mothers at the amount of the increase.

Researchers found, the mothers were employed in the year, amounted to a small, but growing influence on their children BMI.

Research team studied the body mass index (BMI) categories of the information about the 990 3, 5 and 6 children, who lived in cities across the country.Mothers were employed at home at the beginning of the year amounted to the cumulative effect of the maximum of their children's BMI.The findings had the strongest at the end of the fifth and sixth grades among children.Surprisingly, once used by children in physical changes will remain unattended and spent watching TV does not explain why mothers and children's BMI employment connection time.When the days worked, I think, is not significantly associated with the children's mothers BMI.Although the reasons for the conclusions are not crystal clear, the authors suggest that one possibility is the grocery shopping and food manufacture greater consumption of fast food with the compacted and opened the door for a limited period of time.
