Physical activity in a multiethnic population of third graders in four states
OBJECTIVES: This research assessed the amount of daily physical activity in a multiethnic sample of US third-grade students. METHODS: Physical activity interviews were conducted with 2410 third graders from 96 schools in four states.

RESULTS: Students reported a daily average of 89.…
Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors in Anglo and Mexican American Children and Their Mothers
Cardiovascular disease risk factors may vary in different ethnic and socioeconomic status groups, and it is important to explore these factors.

Independent variables were child's gender, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and …
