Kids Who Sleep in Parents' Bed Less Likely to Be Overweight - Polidicks

[quote]Children who wake up at night and are allowed to fall back asleep in their parents' bed are less likely to be overweight than kids put back into their own bed, a new study says.The study included nearly 500 Danish children aged 2 to 6 who had an increased risk of being overweight because they had a high [URL="http://health.usnews.com/health-news/news/articles/2012/05/09/study-kids-who-sleep-in-parents-bed-less-likely-to-be-overweight#"]birth weight[/URL], their mothers were overweight before becoming pregnant or their mothers were poor Children who never slept in their parents' bed after waking up at night were three times more likely to be obese than those who went to sleep in their parents' bed every night after waking. The findings were to be presented Tuesday at the European Congress on Obesity in Lyon, France. Previous research suggested that children who sleep in their parents' bed after waking during the night have poor-quality sleep, which has been found to be associated with obesity. Based on those findings, it would seem that children who sleep in their parents' bed would be more likely to become overweight or obese, according to the researchers. That was not found to be the case in this study, however. The results suggest that the positive parental social responses associated with allowing children to sleep in the parents' bed creates a sense of security in the child and may protect against obesity, said study author Nanna Olsen, of Copenhagen University Hospitals in Denmark. "[However], types of negative psychosocial responses, such as feelings of rejection when not being allowed to enter parents' bed, may lead to overweight," Olsen added. Although the study found an association between lower body-mass index (a measure of body fat based on height and weight) and kids snuggling up with [URL="http://health.usnews.com/health-news/news/articles/2012/05/09/study-kids-who-sleep-in-parents-bed-less-likely-to-be-overweight#"][COLOR=#005497]mom[/COLOR][/URL] and dad, researchers didn't prove there was a direct cause-and-effect relationship between the two.

Although, parents who sleep with their very young babies, is like the #1 cause of sudden infant death syndrome.

Assuming that there's even some sort of correlation.

Is there anything that hasn't been linked to obesity yet?

I have to say this is not correct, of course due to me being scared alot as a child, I spent alot of years in my parents bed, and I am still fat.

This just in: Playing basketball increases risk of dying at the exact age of 74 and 5 days.

I've been rejected! *10 pounds gained

I guess the link is that the parents tend to care more about their child and are more likely to pay attention to its eating habits...? Sounds like quite the leap to me. Pretty silly.

This is quite obvious, who would like a fat kid in their bed consuming all the space?

No... Kids get fat because they eat too fucking much, there is no brain science to it, just sugar and fatty foods.

[QUOTE=Nemisis116;35900016]No... Kids get fat because they eat too fucking much, there is no brain science to it, just sugar and fatty foods.[/QUOTE] Usually there is brain science behind why you eat, you should use yours.

When I was a student I didn't have a lot of money. I worked part time at a place where I spent most of the day on my feet. I had to eat sensibly because I couldn't afford to be wasteful. I couldn't afford a car so I took the bus and walked. I was a skinny little bastard back then. Since I graduated and started working full time, I've had more money. I eat out more and just generally eat more things that I like. I bought a car and I now drive most places. I work in an office and spend most of the day sat down, drinking coffee and eating biscuits. In January I reached the point where I was medically overweight. Recently I started going to a gym, for which I pay around £35 a month. Since then I've lost enough weight to drop back well under the 'overweight' line. And for the last month I've started having sessions with a personal trainer (which costs even more) and my weight loss has accelerated. I think you'll all agree that there is an obvious link between money and obesity.

Suddenly all obese people run home and jump in their parents bed

[QUOTE=Profanwolf;35900026]Usually there is brain science behind why you eat, you should use yours.[/QUOTE] I eat because the stomach says so.

I wish my parents would install air conditioning in my room.My room is hot as hell so I sleep in the living room or in my parents' room when they're away

[QUOTE=Nemisis116;35900063]I eat because the stomach says so.[/QUOTE] And some people do just that and end up fat. Because their stomach (actually brain) tells them they need to eat more than it tells you. There is mind science behind it, and quite a lot. It's not "I don't care I will be fat, lets eat even though I am not hungry.". Some people end up fat without a slightest intent or expectation.

So by sleeping in their parents bed it results in a better nights rest because they're more at ease, resulting in the body maintaining weight better?

I this case of the study I guess it could be the fact that parents who take children to their bed usually care for them more. Uncared for children end up depressed and eat more. Also, uncared for children won't be held in check for what they eat as much, and eat worse things. I think this could be valid correlation but assuming "put your kids into your bed and they will lose weight" would be wrong assumption.

The fact they are safe and they have loving parents and blah blah less depressed ones less overeating (depression often makes you stuff yourself with shit as you excessively crave for the dopamine released etc.). I would say that generally, a happier kid will be healthier kid, including risks of things like obesity and such, although you obviously have to reach the happiness through other things than feeding it candy all day and letting it play computer games and be an useless piece of shit all day long. [editline]10th May 2012[/editline] Bottom line - if you are getting a kid, first of fucking all make sure you want and are ready for the responsibility to care for it, and the more you care for it (again, saying "no" in some cases or forcing the kid to do something it wouldn't do on it's own is often needed as well) the healthier it will be in all areas.

[QUOTE=Limed00d;35899789]What's next Going to potty at night reduces risk of getting a heart attack[/QUOTE] Hopefully yes. That would be great for me since 90% of the shits I take are midnight shits.

What ever I eat I still don't get fat instead i am getting skinnier.

Even after reading the article, how can one actually connect this? [quote]Kids Who Sleep in Parents' Bed Less Likely to Be Overweight[/quote] It sounds like something from Weird Connections from Discovery.

When you go to sleep at night, the monster under your bed comes out and feeds you chicken mcnuggets

That's cause fatty don't go downstairs for comfort food.
