  • Title: Survey into the eating and exercise habits of New Zealand pre-adolescents in relation to overweight and obesity.
    Author: Thomson ME, Cruickshank FM.
    Journal: N Z Med J; 1979 Jan 10; 89(627):7-9. PubMed ID: 285370.
    Abstract:
    Over one quarter of boys and girls were more than 20 percent heavier than British children of the same height; 17 percent of girls and 10 percent of boys were found to be obese in a sample of 334 children from an intermediate school in Dunedin. Increased exercise and a change from high to low energy density foods sold at school tuckshops are offered as some of the solutions to the problem.
