“…Santaliestra-Pasias et al [9] reported an association [29] observed that TV viewing was associated with energy-dense snack consumption. In both studies, 'healthier' dietary patterns were consistently associated with less time spent in front of a screen and more 'unhealthy' dietary patterns were associated with more time spent in front of a screen [30,31]. An often observed sedentary behaviour in preschool children is quiet play.…”

“…The findings suggest that high screen time in early adolescence may be an important indicator of later overweight among normal-weight children, making normal-weight children with high screen times a particularly relevant group for targeted preventive measures. It seems likely that high screen time in early adolescence may be a risk factor in terms of subsequent unhealthy habits and weight gain, as screen time tends to track through adolescence ( 13 ) and is often associated with unhealthy dietary patterns ( 39 ) . In our sample, high screen time was associated with a high intake of the snacking eating pattern at baseline ( P <0·05, data not shown).…”

ObjectiveTo investigate BMI-specific associations between health-related behaviours in early adolescence and the likelihood of overweight in mid-adolescence in a sample of Norwegian adolescents.DesignLongitudinal study of 393 adolescents recruited from schools in Telemark County, Norway. Parents reported baseline data on children’s behavioural variables and background data (at age 12–13 years). Dietary data were reported by means of a retrospective FFQ. Eating patterns were identified using principal component analysis. Height and weight were measured at baseline and 3-year follow-up. BMI-specific differences in health-related behaviours (eating patterns, physical activity and screen time) at baseline were analysed using cross-tabulation and Pearson’s χ 2 test (Fisher’s test). Associations between early health-related behaviours and the likelihood of later overweight were examined using multiple logistic regression.SettingPrimary and secondary schools, Telemark, Norway.SubjectsChildren (n 393) in 7th grade (mean age 12·7 (sd 0·3) years), followed up in 10th grade, and parents.ResultsA moderate to high intake of a varied Norwegian eating pattern combined with moderate-to-vigorous physical activity ≥1 h/d in the 7th grade were associated with a reduced likelihood of being overweight in the 10th grade, but only among already overweight adolescents (adjusted OR=0·2; 95 % CI 0·1, 1·0). Screen time of >3 h/d in the 7th grade was associated with an increased likelihood of subsequent overweight only among adolescents with an initial normal weight (adjusted OR=2·8; 95 % CI 1·1, 7·3).ConclusionsBMI-specific associations were observed between health-related behaviours in early adolescence and the likelihood of being overweight in mid-adolescence.

“…Data from the Western regions (3,4) and from Arab countries (5,6) indicated that adolescents and young people have poor dietary habits, such as the tendency to skip breakfast and having a low intake of fruit, vegetables, milk and fish, and a high intake of sugar-sweetened beverages, fast foods and sweets, and they also skipped breakfast. Furthermore, inactivity and sedentary habits have been highly prevalent among adolescents and young subjects (5).…”

Increased sedentary behaviour is associated with unhealthy dietary patterns in European adolescents participating in the HELENA study

Abstract: Adolescents' DPs are related with the time spent in several sedentary behaviours. Such findings may help to generate interventions focusing on decreasing unhealthy dietary habits and specific sedentary behaviours.
