Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute "New long-term data reveal that parents who sit less and move more have children who are more active – and this influence persists for years. The study provides evidence on how parental activity patterns shape children’s movement behaviour over time and how the roles of mothers and fathers differ. The research was conducted by Swiss TPH and partners in the frame of the SOPHYA cohort. Results were published today in the Journal of Activity, Sedentary and Sleep Behaviors. Together with an earlier SOPHYA publication, the findings highlight the value of long-term cohort research in guiding public health policy."
