“…A recent study from Estonia and Sweden reported an increase in total sedentary time from childhood (9 years) to adolescence (15 or 18 years) of 2 hours and 45 minutes a day 24. Similar findings have been shown in US,25 UK,26 and Vietnamese27 populations. Reductions in TV viewing should, therefore, be targeted in childhood, before it becomes a chronic behaviour 24…”

BackgroundAccumulating evidence suggests that television (TV) viewing is associated with cardio-metabolic risk, but little is known about how this relationship unfolds over the life course. This study employs a life course epidemiological framework by examining the potential cumulative effect of frequent TV viewing during adolescence and young adulthood on the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in mid-adulthood; and whether TV viewing during adolescence constitutes a sensitive period for the development of the metabolic syndrome in mid-adulthood.MethodsWe used data from the Northern Swedish Cohort, a nationally representative cohort comprising 855 participants (80% of the baseline sample). Data were collected during 1981–2008 and analysed in 2013. Logistic regression was applied to examine the associations between TV viewing at ages 16, 21 and 30 years, and the metabolic syndrome at age 43 years.ResultsCumulative frequent TV viewing was associated with subsequent prevalence of the metabolic syndrome after adjustment for potential confounders (p for trend=0.026). Watching ‘several shows a day’ compared with ‘one show/week’ or less at age 16 years was associated with the metabolic syndrome at age 43 years after adjustment for later exposure (TV viewing at ages 21 and 30 years) and potential confounders (OR 1.86, 95% CI 1.06 to 3.27).ConclusionsThe number of life periods of frequent TV viewing during adolescence and early adulthood influenced cardio-metabolic risk in mid-adulthood in a dose-dependent manner, corresponding to a cumulative risk life course model. Additionally, TV viewing in adolescence may constitute a sensitive period for the metabolic syndrome in mid-adulthood.

“…Furthermore, it is likely that time freed due to this decrease may be transferred to the use of other technologies (e.g., computers and mobile phones; Biddle et al, 2010), and this may result in stability or an increase in overall nonschool self-reported SB in the long term as suggested by the age effect. This could be supported by a recent study (Trang et al, 2013), which showed an increase in daily nonschool SB throughout adolescence. Further monitoring is needed in Europe to determine trends related to these behaviors during adolescence.…”

“…To our knowledge, few studies (van Sluijs, Page, Ommundsen, & Griffin, 2010) have researched the levels and correlates of objective SB in adolescents by comparing European populations. It is therefore important to research SB and its correlates across different countries (Melkevik, Torsheim, Iannotti, & Wold, 2010) to design more efficient preventive actions (Trang et al, 2013).…”

BackgroundRapid urbanization in China has led to a proliferation of electronic entertainment media among youth. Prolonged screen time (ST; includes watching television and playing on computers, video game consoles, or mobile phones) is linked to poor health profiles. The aim of this study was to report recreational ST behaviors and ST correlates among Chinese adolescents living in two regions with different degrees of urbanization.MethodsA cross-sectional, school-based survey (n = 3461 adolescents; aged 12–14 years old) living in inner-city Shanghai and a peri-urban region of Hangzhou. Students completed a questionnaire including family characteristics, daily ST, and information on family environment related to screen use. Recreational ST was categorized into two groups according to recommendations by the American Academy of Pediatrics (< or ≥2 h/day). Parents reported their own ST and also reported educational attainment as a proxy for socioeconomic status.ResultsST was higher among boys than girls and on weekends than weekdays. Peri-urban girls were more likely to exceed 2 h/day ST compared to inner-city girls on weekends. Having a father with no university degree, mother’s TV viewing ≥2 h/day, no ST rules at home, and eating meals in front of the TV were associated with higher ST on both weekdays and weekends, and regional differences were found for weekend ST.ConclusionsTV viewing and playing on the computer were the most prevalent ST behaviors among Chinese adolescents. Mobile phone playing was less prevalent but persistent throughout the week. More population-level surveillance and research is needed to monitor the trends in ST behaviors and to better understand the characteristics of those who are at risk.
