Working Mums’Children Less Fit
Children whose mothers work are less likely to lead healthy lives than those with "stay at home" mums, a study says. The Institute ofChild Health study of more than 12,500 five -year- olds found those with working mothers less active and more likely to eat unhealthy fooD、Other experts said more work was needed to see if the results applied to other age groups.
The mothers were asked about the hours they worked and their children’ s diet, exercise levelsand sedentary activities. They found that five - year - olds whose mothers worked part - time or full -time were more likely to primarily consume sweetened drinks between meals. They used their computers or watched television for at least two hours a day compared to the children of "stay at home" mums who spent less than two hours on these activities. They were also more likely to be driven to school compared to the children of "stay at home" mothers who tended to walk or cycle.
ProfessorCatherine Law, who led the study said: "Time constraints may limit parents’ capacity to provide their children with healthy foods and opportunities for physical activity. " The same children took part in an earlier study by the Institute ofChild Health (ICH)which found that those with working mothers were more likely to be obese or overweight by the age of three.
In the latest study, many of the five - year - olds were engaging in unhealthy behaviors likely to promote excess weight gain: 37% were mainly eating crisps and sweets between meals, 41% were consuming sweetened drinks and 61% used the television or a computer at least two hours daily.
Glenys Jones, nutritionist with the Medical ResearchCouncil Human Nutrition Research, said the study was interesting because of limited research so far on the impact of maternal employment on child health choices.
Sally Russell, a spokesman for Netmums, said: "The stress and guilt associated with being a working mum is something we are all too well aware of. This report adds to that guilt. With many more mums having no choice but to work these days and with government policy actively encouraging it, it is difficult to know how mums can do better. \

B．Most of the five - year - olds were engaging in unhealthy behaviors were overweight.
C．61% used the television or a computer at least two hours daily.
