Healio (12/12, Rhoades) reports, “Reducing or eliminating physical activity disparities between boys and girls may result in substantially fewer cases of overweight and obesity and savings of around $780 million, results from a model simulation study suggest.” The findings “also showed that approximately $1.5 billion could be saved by eliminating sex disparities in sports participation.” The findings were published in JAMA Network Open.
