Parents' Work Schedule Has Direct Influence on Children's Eating Behavior

Former Member 8/21/144:10 PM

The way parents balance their work schedules directly affects the eating habits of their adolescent children, a new study reveals.

Led by Penn State researchers, the finding is based on the evaluation of 16,991 adolescents who were part of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health. They found a strong relation between how parents juggle work hours and their children's weight.

According to Molly Martin, the associate professor of sociology and demography, the work schedules may be more crucial than the number of hours parents spend at work.
