Abstract

Una de las principales explicaciones del aumento de la obesidad y el sobrepeso infantil está en la transmisión de estilos de vida poco saludables por parte de los padres. En el presente trabajo se contrasta esta hipótesis utilizando una base de datos única y representativa que recoge información anual desde 1996 a 2009 sobre el paso y la altura de padres e hijos en Inglaterra.
