Preschoolers are children around the age of 4 or 5. Researchers from the Ohio State University s College of Public Health have found that young children who go to bed after 9 p.m. are twice as likely to be obese later in life. The lead author of the study is Professor Sarah Anderson. Anderson says that, for parents, the results of the study support the importance of creating a bedtime routine. She says that having a usual bedtime routine is something “families can do to lower their child s risk” of becoming overweight. A usual, early bedtime, Anderson adds, is also likely to have positive influence on behavior and on social, emotional and cognitive( 认 知 的 ) development. Researchers used data from 977 children for the study. The project followed healthy babies born in 1991 in 10 U.S. cities. The children were 4 1 2 years old when their mothersreportedtheirusualweekdaybedtime. Researchers then divided the children into three groups: Those who went to bed by 8 p.m. Those who went to bed between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. Those who went to bed after 9 p.m. When these childrenturned 15yearsold,the researchers looked at their rates of obesity. Of those with the earliest bedtime, only one out of 10 was obese. Of those who went to bed between 8 and 9 p.m., 16 percent became obese. And out of those with the latest bedtime, 23 percent became obese. Researchers say putting children in bed early does not mean they will immediately fall asleep. But, they add, it makes it more likely that children will get the amount of sleep they need to be at their best. 1. What does the passage mainly talk about? A.
