A new study has pointed out that 10 year old children are trying to lose weight the wrong way by vomiting out food, with boys doing this more than girls.

Kids who are overweight tended to adopt such practices. Further, kids who are habituated to spending time on the computer for more than two hours a day carried a 55 percent risk of adopting such unhealthy means to lose weight.
Skipping breakfast, sleeping less than eight hours a day, sedentary lifestyle and eating junk food exacerbated this risk, researchers said.
“Self-induced vomiting was most prevalent in adolescents who had a sedentary lifestyle, slept less and ate unhealthily," researchers said.
