US obesity epidemic linked to divide between rich and poor - World News | Latest International News Headlines | The Irish Times - Mon, Jan 13, 2014: "Obesity among children from lower earning families rose compared to their well-off counterparts, according to a study that suggests the US weight epidemic may be another sign of a growing divide between rich and poor.
Using data from two national surveys of children ages 12 to 17 years old, researchers from Harvard University and Insead analysed parents’ level of education as shorthand for socioeconomic status, a measure of education, income and occupation.
The study today in Proceedings of the National Academy of Science found that children from less educated families exercised less and didn’t cut their calories as much."
