Are parents of young children practicing healthy nutrition and physical activity behaviors?

Samenvatting

Although parenthood is a common life event in early adulthood, little is known about whether parenthood is associated with weight and weight-related health behaviors, including dietary intake and physical activity. In this article we examine whether parents of young children (aged 5 years) report different dietary intake, physical activity, and BMIs compared with young adults without children.
