Food and activity preferences in children of lean and obese parents.

International journal of obesity and related metabolic disorders : journal of the International Association for the Study of Obesity - 1 Jul 2001

Wardle J, Guthrie C, Sanderson S, Birch L, Plomin R

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Children of obese parents have a substantially higher risk of adult obesity than children of lean parents. Adoption and twin studies have shown that this risk is largely genetic but the proximal mechanisms of the genetic risk are not known. Comparisons of energy intake or expenditure in children of obese and lean parents have produced mixed, but generally negative results. An alternative hypothesis is...
