“…The same conclusion was reached by the remaining forty-two studies involving children and adolescents, as well as a study conducted on European adolescents from eight countries, which found that consumption of salty snacks and sugary drinks were higher in groups that did not meet physical activity and sedentary screen time recommendations 24 . In more recent studies, another important factor associated with screen time is smoking habit, with smokers spending more time watching TV 25 . Conversely, smokers appear to spend more time in front of a screen with smoking cessation influencing this association by reducing screen time 26 .…”

Background: studies evaluating screen time with a variety of lifestyle determinants have been focused, mostly on children and adolescents. To the best of our knowledge, very few studies have been conducted in adult populations, worldwide. Aim: to investigate the association between time spent on screen, for work or and entertainment, with fast food consumption, and certain lifestyle behaviors (physical activity, smoking, dietary habits), in Greek young adults. Methods: a cross-sectional, observational study with convenience sampling of 687 Greek adults, 18-30 years old, was conducted in May, 2023, using a structured web-based questionnaire. Participants were asked regarding time spent on screens (i.e., cellphone/tablet, television, computer/laptop), separately for work and entertainment, as well as various sociodemographic, clinical and lifestyle characteristics, including adherence to Mediterranean diet (through MedDietScore, ranged 0-55). Results: mean daily screen time was 5±4 hours for work and 6±3.5 hours for entertainment. Screen time for entertainment was inversely associated with a participant’s adherence to the Mediterranean diet (OR per 1 h, 0.93, 95%CI 0.89, 0.97, p=0.002). A positive association was found between fast food, sweet and salty snacks consumption with overall screen time (all p-values<0.05), while recreational screen time was inversely associated with the likelihood of a person being physically active (OR per 1 h, 0.90, 95%CI 0.85, 0.95,p=0.001). Body mass index was also positively associated with remote work screen time (rho=0.27, p=0.027). No associations were observed regarding smoking habits. Conclusion: a potential link between screen time and devaluation of the quality of life was revealed, which, in the long-term, can impact human health status.

“…Respecto a los hábitos alimentarios, los niños que consumían mayor cantidad de verduras dedicaban menos tiempo a la TV (p<0,05); mientras que el mayor consumo de azúcar se concentró en niños que pasaban mayor cantidad de horas viendo TV (p<0,05), hechos que han sido reportado por otros estudios (18,22,27), especialmente en varones, quienes según nuestros resultados presentaron una mayor diferencia significativa, similar a lo planteado en un artículo publicado el año 2010 basado en niños europeos, el cual reveló que ver TV y el sexo masculino son importantes predictores para la comida rápida, bebidas azucaradas y peso corporal (26). Los análisis de contenido han demostrado que la alimentación es la categoría que con más frecuencia se anuncia en la TV de los niños, centrándose en productos muy dulces; más recientemente las promociones de comida rápida ha ido creciendo (27), en donde el tiempo de TV como actividad sedentaria, y su publicidad, se postula como un incentivador para el consumo de azúcar y grasas (6,28).…”

Background: Television (TV) is a medium that massively delivers entertainment, information and culture in Chilean society contributing to create sedentary habits in children. Objective: To associate the time dedicated to TV watching with nutritional status and food habits in 3 to 6 years old children. Design: A cross-sectional study of 45 children residents of the population "Jardín del Este" in Talca was performed through home visits. Nutritional status was assessed and the time spent watching TV was recorded. Data was analyzed using Stata 10.1. Results: The majority (73.3%) of children watched TV between 4 and 7 hours daily. The time devoted to watching TV was 3.47 ± 1.0 hours in eutrofic children, 4.7 ± 0.9 hours in overweight and 5.6 ± 0.9 hours in obese (p<0.05). Children who consumed more servings of sugar daily spent on average more hours watching TV (p<0,05). Conclusions: The time dedicated to watch TV at home influences the nutritional status and dietary habits of children.

“…Estudios previos a la situación de pandemia por COVID-19, han reportado que los estudiantes universitarios chilenos tienden a mantener conductas sedentarias y un bajo nivel de actividad física 6 , asociado a una mayor probabilidad de desarrollar enfermedades como obesidad, diabetes e hipertensión 6,7 , y a una menor percepción de la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud 8 . Esto se suma a que una mayor dedicación a horas de estudio y una alta exposición al uso de pantallas (computador y/o smartphone) lo que promueve la adquisición de estilos de vida no saludables en esta población 6,9,10 . En la actualidad, debido a las restricciones de distanciamiento social impuestas por los gobiernos debido a la pandemia por COVID-19, muchos jóvenes universitarios han debido reemplazar las actividades académicas presenciales por actividades académicas online.…”
