Study says parental obesity can affect same-sex children's overweight odds

A study conducted in the United Kingdom July 25 shows that if a parent is overweight, the likelihood of their children becoming obese will increase significantly. Among them, the fat mother brings the possibility of the fat daughter, than the normal weight of the mother more than 10 times times higher, and the fat Father son overweight is also more likely than normal five times times higher.　　However, the fat mother to the son, fat father to the daughter will not have a significant "weight gain" effect. The British Plymouth Peninsula Medical School has tracked the weight and height of parents and children from 226 families over the past three years. The results found that 41% of obese mothers, their 8-year-old daughter was overweight, and only 4% of the normal weight of mothers with daughter overweight phenomenon.　　At the same time, 18% of fat dads will bring up fat sons, and only 3% of normal weight fathers will have a son overweight. The study also confirmed that no matter how fat and thin the mother is, it does not affect the son's weight, and whether the father is overweight has no decisive effect on the daughter's weight. The investigators therefore confirmed that the "obesity situation" of parents could only have an impact on same-sex children. They argue that this intriguing phenomenon is unlikely to be caused by genetics or genetics, but is likely the result of a "behavioral resonance".　　Because, adult obesity is usually caused by the acquired cause. The British medical profession speculates that daughters tend to imitate the mother's way of life, while their sons follow their father's actions. In this way, obese parents tend to subtly and unconsciously teach their children about their unhealthy lifestyles. Earlier, British researchers have long argued that obese children grow up to become obese adults. However, most people will overlook the fact that, of every 10 obese adults, 8 people in childhood weight is not significantly exceeded. (Gao Yijun) have _count_ comments I want to comment
