Every night, millions of American families sit down to eat dinner ? where they do it could be an indicator of their physical health. According to a new study published in the journal Obesity, adults and children who sit down together to eat supper as a family tend to have a lower body mass index (BMI) than those who don?t.
In the study, two researchers from Cornell University looked at the relationship between daily family dinner habits and the BMI of 190 parents and nearly 150 children. Other studies have shown that lifestyle factors like physical activity and income are associated with BMI.
