In a study of children born in New Zealand in 1972, researchers recorded sleep diaries of children ages 5, 7, 9 and 11 and found their amount of sleep connected with their body mass index at age 32.

This research is one more link in the growing connection between sleep and weight. Be patient. It takes time for this video to load.
