Study: Overweight children struggle with math

wls
By ABC7
June 14, 2012

Findings show that children who start kindergarten overweight and are still overweight after fifth grade, performed worse on math tests than fit children.

It's believed that interpersonal troubles and internalizing behaviors may be why weight may affect math performance.

This study appears in the journal Child Development.
