- Abstract
- Ninety-five French-Canadian children and their parents took part in this study of the relationship between selected familial variables and children’s relative weight. Results of a backstep regression analysis showed that socioeconomic status was the best single predictor for girls, whereas maternal rejection/ hostility, duration of breast-feeding, and socioeconomic status were significant predictors for boys
