pausecontent[0]='Survey: Majority of parents say no to H1N1 vaccine for children
A survey of 1,678 U.S. parents found only 40% would get their children vaccinated against the H1N1 flu virus, compared with 54% who planned to get a seasonal flu vaccine for their child. Among parents not planning an H1N1 vaccination for their child, 20% said they did not believe it is a serious disease.'
pausecontent[1]='Obese children with large waists have higher heart risks
Researchers found that obese children with large waists have lower "good" HDL cholesterol, higher harmful triglyceride levels, and greater insulin resistance, which could put them at risk for heart disease and Type 2 diabetes. Pediatricians should monitor the waist circumference of overweight children when it "seems to be excessive," one of the researchers said.'
pausecontent[2]='Light-skin children who tan may have higher skin cancer risk
Children with very light skin develop more moles when they tan than their peers with darker complexions, which could increase their risk for melanoma, study data showed. Researchers said parents should not rely only on sunscreen but should also have kids wear lightweight, loose clothing and avoid mid-day sun. Reuters'
pausecontent[3]='Antioxidants linked to fewer premature births in study
In a Canadian study of pregnant women, those who had higher levels of carotenoids, commonly found in red and orange fruits and vegetables, were less likely to deliver before the end of their term. The results don’t necessarily reflect a cause-and-effect relationship, the lead researcher said, but they do correspond with current recommendations for pregnant women to eat a balanced diet.'
pausecontent[4]='Stressful childhood events may reduce life expectancy
People who experience stressful childhood events may die years earlier than those who don’t, CDC researchers reported. The study showed people who had at least six of eight different bad experiences as a child -- such as frequent verbal abuse -- died at an average age of 61, compared with 79 for those without any of the experiences Reuters'
pausecontent[5]='Children opt for junk food during trips to store
Junk food -- including chips, candy and soda -- is the most popular purchase for children who stop at the store before or after school, according to a study in the November issue of Pediatrics. Researchers said children picked up about 360 calories worth of goodies each visit, and more than 50% of the Philadelphia students surveyed said they visited a store once a day, five days a week.'
pausecontent[6]='Probiotics seen as eczema fighter
Select strains of probiotics given to pregnant women and then their babies may reduce the risk of eczema in children whose families have a history of allergies, researchers say. The benefits tapered over time, but lasted as long as two years.'
