An article in the Winnipeg Free Press interviews James Roemmich, associate professor of pediatrics and exercise and nutrition science, about his research on the health benefits of children walking to school. "The cardiovascular disease process begins in childhood, so if we can find some way of stopping or slowing that process, that would provide an important health benefit," he said. The research also was the subject of a story on KLFY in Louisiana.
