Study: the cruelty of parents causes childhood obesity

Исследование: жестокость родителей становится причиной ожирения детейAmerican researchers have determined the cause of obesity development in adolescents.

The scientific staff of the State University of Iowa in the United States conducted an interesting study, during which it became clear that the maltreatment of children leads to their obesity.

Before making such findings, scientists have studied video communication of children with parents out of 451 intact families. Experts assessed the behavior of both parents, and a few years later analyzed the changes in the health status of children.

As it turned out, the family, where children were subjected to harsh parenting had weight even after having left the parental home.

But researchers said that the risk of obesity and other health problems in adulthood, remain even if one of the parents try to soften the rudeness of the other parent.

In this regard, researchers recommend that adults avoid rough communication with their children, to protect them from health problems that will haunt them into adulthood.
