Do young low-income ethnic minority children watch less television when their mothers regulate what they are viewing?
Our findings suggest that regulating content influences viewing amounts in young children approximately 16 months later. Interventions focused on heightening parental regulation of content may improve content and diminish viewing amounts.
Social position in childhood seems to be positively related to bone mass acquisition in childhood as a consequence of enhanced gain in height (i.e., longitudinal growth). However, this influence is counteracted by the tendency for increased fat deposition in those from a lower social position to increase bone area, presumably reflecting the stimulation of appositional bone growth.
