Abstract
Welcome to Public Health Moment from the University of Minnesota. Girls who eat meals regularly with their families are less likely to use diet pills, laxatives, or other extreme measures to control their weight. That’s according to a five-year study involving more than 2,500 Minnesota adolescents. Dianne Neumark-Stzainer, a University of Minnesota epidemiologist, led the study. <clip: “Our findings were stronger in girls than in boys. … and have implications for families.”>Neumark-Stzainer recommends that families try to spend more time together at the dinner table.<clip: “Eating meals together provides opportunities…for families to come to the table together.”>With another Public Health Moment, I’m John Finnegan.
