Islam-Zwart, Kayleen; Cawston, Alvina
American Indian and Alaska Native Mental Health Research: The Journal of the National Center, v14 n3 p49-58 2008
This study investigated the relationship between family history, sedentary behaviors, and childhood risk for type 2 diabetes. Participants were 480 students attending schools on or near an American Indian reservation. Data were collected through survey and BMI measurement. Children who frequently watched television or played video games did not significantly differ in BMI compared to peers. However, children with a parental history of diabetes had significantly higher BMIs than children without. (Contains 1 table.)
