		Obese children were about as likely to have a lower quality of life as children undergoing cancer treatment.
		This was surprising, noted the researchers, because the obese children weren't being exposed to the intensive medical interventions that children with cancer often go through.

	The Daily, Monday, November 3, 2003. Parent and child factors associated with youth obesity
		Having an obese parent greatly increased the odds of obesity among adolescent boys and girls, according to a new study.
		However, boys were more likely than girls to see themselves in the acceptable to underweight range when they were, in fact, overweight or obese; 16% of boys who perceived their weight as normal or underweight, compared with only 6% of girls, had a BMI indicating they were overweight or obese.
		Although inferences about the causes of youth obesity cannot be drawn from the CCHS cross-sectional data, the results of this analysis do support the claim that parents can influence their children's attitudes and behaviours and play a role in the development or prevention of childhood obesity.
