Research shows Dad，not Mum，is the big risk factor for childhood obesity．

A recent study has found having an overweight father quadruples (四倍) a child’s chance of being overweight，ever if they have a mother of normal weight restingly, the opposite scenario(情景) doesn’t have the same result. So if the mother is overweight but the father is of normal weight the child’s risk of being overweight is not significantly raised.

The research was undertaken by researchers at the University Of Newcastle who examined more than 3, 000 two-parent families over a four-year period. Researchers measured the children’s change of weight from about four to five years of age to when mi they were eight or nine.

Dr. Emily Freeman, a researcher in the University of Newcastle Family Action Center, says, “While it is early days in terms of this type of research, the results of the study are very exciting. It is really important that we’ve found the link between Dads and their children, because lots of researchers tend to focus on mothers and children.”She adds. “We have had lots of stories of Dads refusing to eat vegetables, and then the kids don’t eat them either.”

She says further research is needed to understand the underlying reasons for the link. So what can fathers do to become batter role models for their kids? “They should definitely be more aware of the different behaviors they are modeling to their kids; they need to demonstrate they are eating fruit and vegetables and get outside more,” says Freeman, who has been involved with Healthy Dads, Healthy Kids, an education program in the Hunter Valley in NSW, and has seen these actions bring encouraging results.
