“…A shift towards ‘eveningness’ (i.e., later bedtime and later wake time) is associated with poor health behaviors and lower physical activity in adolescents [ 38 ]. Furthermore, later sleep timing minimizes opportunities for morning light exposure or morning exercise (both good for stabilizing circadian timing) [ 39 ] and staying up late (with or without screen time) tends to augment further delays in circadian timing [ 40 , 41 ]. The circadian system is largely driven by light exposure during daytime hours [ 42 ].…”

COVID-19 Impact on Behaviors across the 24-Hour Day in Children and Adolescents: Physical Activity, Sedentary Behavior, and Sleep

et al. 2020

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, social restrictions to contain the spread of the virus have disrupted behaviors across the 24-h day including physical activity, sedentary behavior, and sleep among children (5–12 years old) and adolescents (13–17 years old). Preliminary evidence reports significant decreases in physical activity, increases in sedentary behavior, and disrupted sleep schedules/sleep quality in children and adolescents. This commentary discusses the impact of COVID-19-related restrictions on behaviors across the 24-h day in children and adolescents. Furthermore, we suggest recommendations through the lens of a socio-ecological model to provide strategies for lasting behavior change to insure the health and well-being of children and adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“…A dietary questionnaire modified from previous studies on dietary behaviors conducted by Stea et al [25], Sun et al [17], and Arora et al [12] was therefore adopted to capture particular dietary characteristics of school-aged children. The dietary questionnaire covered some important aspects that have been widely assessed in previous studies: meal regularity and portions [13,15], snacking and fast food consumption [12,24], sugar intake [15,16], fruit and vegetable intake [12,[26][27][28], and television (TV) viewing during mealtimes [13,29]. Items were prepared in English and translated to Chinese for the purpose of collecting data.…”

Later chronotypes have been found to be associated with unhealthy diets in adolescents and adults, but no study has been conducted in children. The aim of this study was to investigate the associations between the chronotypes and dietary patterns of school-aged children. Children aged 7–11 and their parents were recruited from five mainstream schools in Hong Kong. The parents were told to complete questionnaires on the children’s circadian preferences, food frequency, and dietary behaviors. All of the questionnaires were distributed and collected by schoolteachers. No gender differences in chronotype were observed (all p > 0.05). The evening-type was associated with significantly greater odds of viewing television (TV) during meals (adjusted odds ratios (OR) = 5.62 in boys and 5.39 in girls). Evening-oriented boys were prone to skipping breakfast (adjusted OR = 14.78), whereas evening-oriented girls were at risk of consuming fast food (adjusted OR = 7.74). There are indications of some gender differences in chronotype-related eating patterns. Sleep duration and screen time significantly mediated the associations between later chronotypes and unhealthy eating habits. Individualized dietary recommendations in accordance with circadian preferences may be effective at promoting healthy and nutritious diets for school-aged children.

“…This debate has, in part, been fueled by reports of negative consequences of screen time during childhood and adolescence. For example, screen viewing has been associated with reduced sleep in infancy and toddlerhood (e.g., Cheung et al, 2017;Ribner and McHarg, 2019) and in adolescence (e.g., Hisler et al, 2020;Magee and Blunden, 2020). In addition, increased screen time is associated with increased sedentary behavior and obesity (e.g., Robinson et al, 2017); and television has been negatively correlated with both parental engagement (e.g., Mendelsohn et al, 2008;Christakis et al, 2009;Kirkorian et al, 2009) and children's language and literacy skills (Ribner et al, 2020).…”

Screen Time and Executive Function in Toddlerhood: A Longitudinal Study

et al. 2020

Technology is pervasive in homes with young children. Emerging evidence that electronic screen-based media use has adverse effects on executive functions may help explain negative relations between media use and early academic skills. However, longitudinal investigations are needed to test this idea. In a sample of 193 British toddlers tracked from age 2 to 3 years, we test concurrent and predictive relations between screen use and children's executive function. We find no concurrent association between screen use and executive function; however, screen time at age 2 is negatively associated with the development of executive functions in toddlerhood from age 2 to 3, controlling for a range of covariates including verbal ability. Implications for parenting, education, and pediatric recommendations are discussed.
