Children who adopted and continued unhealthy lifestyle had higher risk of diseases like prehypertension: Study

SMALL Percentages STARTED Good PATTERNS

” Those that belong to the all- healthy segment- really small ( proportion ). It means that … there’s a lot more work we can do to attempt to up that quantity”, said Assoc Prof Chong, who also joined the present.

This party adopted and maintained life practices like a healthy diet, frequent physical activity, and adequate sleep.

” Often enough when we look at behaviours, we tend to just look at it in silo, so we just look at diet, (or ) physical activity and the outcome. So what’s truly unique about this investigation is that we look at combos”, said Assoc Prof Chong.

Dr Cai Shirong, principal analyst at SICS, noted that the data was gathered from early and middle youth, which is a crucial development phase.

According to Dr. Cai, who is also a doctor in the Human Potential Translational Research Program at NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, “because the lifestyle components are customizable, we can possibly pin them in first youth, especially in the groups that we have identified as being more likely to have unhealthy life habits.”

When asked how caregivers can increase children’s habits, Assoc Prof Chong said:” We have to lead by example, thus role modeling good habits, because our kids may not always listen to us, but they’re watching us and so they will mimic our habits”.
