“…Previous research has also suggested higher screenviewing time in older children (21) . We also observed a high proportion of males watching TV in excess, unlike in three reviews with a variety of age groups which reported no gender differences (3,8,22) . Large variations for computer/games-console use between countries, such as older Estonian females v. Swedish ones (6?2 % and 0 % respectively), were found in our study.…”

Objective: To estimate the prevalence of physical activity and sedentary behaviours in European children, and to evaluate the relationship between media availability in personal space and physical activity in relation to total screen time. Design: Data from the baseline IDEFICS (Identification and prevention of dietaryand lifestyle-induced health effects in children and infants) cross-sectional survey. Information on hours of television/digital video disk/video viewing and computer/ games-console use (weekday and weekend days), media device availability in personal space, sports club membership, hours of active organized play and commuting (to and from school) were assessed via a self-reported parental questionnaire. Total screen time was defined as the sum of daily media use and subsequently dichotomized into meeting or not meeting the guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatrics. Setting: Eight survey centres (Italy, Estonia, Cyprus, Belgium, Sweden, Germany, Hungary and Spain). Subjects: Children (n 15 330; 51 % males) aged 2-10 years. Results: Percentage of children engaged in total screen time for .2 h/d was higher on weekend days (52 % v. 20 % on weekdays) and in the older group (71 % in males; 57 % in females), varying by country. Children with a television set in their bedroom were more likely not to meet the screen time recommendations (OR 5 1?54; 95 % CI 1?60, 1?74).Conclusions: Approximately a third of the children failed to meet current screen time recommendations. Availability of a television set in personal space increased the risk of excess total screen time. This information could be used to identify potential targets for public health promotion actions of young population groups.

“…A large number of studies focus on TV viewing making it one of the most commonly examined sedentary behaviours (3,8) , although it might not necessarily reflect overall sedentary time (9) . Different patterns of PA and sedentary behaviours have been observed by age, gender and country (2,5,6) .…”

“…According to the Finnish study by Nupponen, Halme, Parkkisenniemi, Pehkonen, and Tammelin (2010) the most popular equipment among 3-to 6-year-old children were bicycle, running shoes, skis and skates. Interestingly, boys more often than girls had access to physically active equipment (Nupponen et al, 2010).Screen time (e.g., TV viewing, electronic game playing and computer use) has been the most commonly examined SB in preschool children (Hinkley, Salmon, Okely, & Trost, 2010;Owen et al, 2010). However, it is clear that preschool children's TV viewing habits are complex (Cox, Skouteris, Dell´Aquila, Hardy, & Rutherford, 2012), and recent TV-time findings for younger children have been inconsistent .…”

This study addressed the following research questions: 1) What physical activity (PA) intensity levels and patterns exist among Finnish 3-year-old preschool children (studies I, II)? 2) Are there variations between Finland and the Netherlands in 3-year-old children's observed PA levels and contexts in childcare (study III)? 3) Are there variations between Finland and Australia in 3-year-old children's PA intensity levels measured with accelerometers (study IV)? In Finland, 14 childcare centres in the city of Jyväskylä participated in the study. Data were gathered on 96 three-year-old preschool children (48 boys and 48 girls) in autumn 2010, and on 94 children (50 boys and 44 girls) in winter 2011. Data were also gathered on 97 (46 boys and 51 girls) 3-year-olds from nine childcare centres in Maastricht, the Netherlands, and on 64 (33 boys and 31 girls) 3-year-olds from 13 childcare centres in Melbourne, Australia. Children's PA intensity levels and sedentary time on five consecutive days, including childcare and homecare days was assessed with ActiGraph GT3X accelerometers. The structured Observational System for Recording Physical Activity in Children-Preschool Version (OSRAC-P) of was used to obtain descriptive information on the context of PA behaviours in childcare settings. Appropriate statistical analyses were performed. The 3-year-old children spent the major part of their time engaged in sedentary-level activities. During childcare attendance, only 2% of all observations were recorded as moderate to vigorous PA (MVPA). The children were observed, for the most part, in non-solitary play; however, during solitary play they showed higher levels of PA intensity. In autumn, the children were more physically active in the mornings than afternoons. No major differences were observed in PA levels between days or seasons, although levels of outdoor PA were higher in autumn than winter. The Finnish children spent significantly more time in sedentary-level activities and less time in MVPA than the Dutch children, whereas, during childcare days the Finnish children spent more time in light PA than the Australian children. The childcare setting itself plays an important part in promoting more intensive PA behaviour during early childhood. Throughout the year, children should be encouraged to spend a greater amount of their time playing outdoors, engaged in MVPA-level activities, and to minimize the time spent sitting or engaged in sedentary-level activities. Finnish childcare policy makers should take note of these findings as well as of existing international practices and guidelines that have been demonstrated to be beneficial for children's PA behaviour and thus also health. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSPhysical activity has been a major part of my whole life, becoming a way of life. Besides enjoying being physically active myself, I have had a mission to encourage inactive people to work towards adopting a more physically active lifestyle. I believe that as a part of broadening my own lifelong learning, starting thi...

Introducción. El incremento en la disponibilidad de medios electrónicos ha modificado los comportamientos de niños y jóvenes, fomentando los de tipo sedentario, con efectos sobre la salud desde muy corta edad. Objetivo. Caracterizar la disponibilidad y uso de medios electrónicos, y sus factores asociados, en niños desde preescolar hasta 4° grado. Materiales y métodos. Es un estudio de corte transversal con muestreo por conglomerados. Los padres diligenciaron la encuesta sociodemográfica, disponibilidad y uso de medios electrónicos en el hogar y en la habitación del niño. Se aplicaron modelos de regresión log-binomial para estimar las razones de prevalencia, ajustando por el tipo de muestreo. Resultados. Respondieron 710 padres. El promedio de edad de los niños fue de 6,7 años y 49,7 % eran hombres. El trabajo fuera de la casa de la mamá y los ingresos familiares se asociaron positivamente con la disponibilidad de medios electrónicos en el hogar y en la habitación del hijo. La disponibilidad de televisor, computador y consolas en la habitación del hijo, favorece un mayor tiempo de uso de estos medios electrónicos. Tanto el sexo masculino del hijo como la edad, se asociaron positivamente con la disponibilidad y uso de los medios electrónicos. Conclusión. Este es el primer estudio en Colombia en que se documentan la disponibilidad y el uso de medios electrónicos en niños. Los hallazgos reflejan que la vida moderna fomenta comportamientos sedentarios desde los primeros años de vida, asociados con problemas de salud desde la primera infancia. Se requieren estudios de intervención dirigidos a disminuir estos comportamientos en nuestro contexto.Palabras clave: niño, preescolar, tecnología, televisión, estilo de vida sedentario, conducta infantil, bienestar del niño. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.7705/biomedica.v33i2.779Associated factors to availability and use of electronic media in children from preschool to 4 th grade Introduction: The increased availability of electronic media has changed the behavior in children and young people by encouraging sedentary lifestile, with health effects from a very young age. Objective: To characterize the availability and use of electronic media and its associated factors in children from preschool through 4 th grade. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study with cluster sampling was carried out. Parents filled out the demographic survey, the availability and use of electronic media at home and in the child's room. Log-binomial regression models were applied to estimate prevalence ratios adjusted for the sampling. Results: Seven hundred and ten parents answered. The average age of the children was 6.7 years and 49.7% were male. Factors such as the mother working out of the house and family income were positively associated with the availability of electronic media at home and in the child's room. The availability of a TV, computer and console in the child's room, contributes to longer use of these electronic media. Both, the male gender and age of the child, were positively associ...
