“…A total of 18 studies investigated the influence that a child's body mass index (BMI) has on measures of sedentary behaviour; half of these found null associations 13 19 48 54 63 64 66 67. In contrast, two studies that used accelerometry to measure sedentary behaviour found that having a higher BMI was associated with more time spent in sedentary behaviour 13 19.…”

“…These factors have only been investigated in single studies, making a review of the data difficult. Nonetheless, there is evidence that parents who limited screen time and enforced screen time rules had children who spent less time engaged in screen-based sedentary behaviours 23 52 63 69. One accelerometry-based study found that children with more interest in physical activity spent less time spent in sedentary behaviour 13.…”

The purpose of this review is to describe the amount of time children spend in sedentary behaviour and to determine if there are specific factors that associate with sedentary behaviour in children. The following search terms were used to identify relevant articles: sedentary behaviour, inactivity, television, computer, video games, small screen, sitting, prevalence, patterns, correlates, factors and determinants. The databases used to conduct the search included PubMed, PsycINFO, ERIC (Education Resources Information Center) and Academic Search Premier. The studies reviewed were limited to those that sampled children (2-18 years), were written in English and used a measure of sedentary behaviour as the dependent variable. Several studies reported the time spent watching television or the proportion of children at or above a threshold for television viewing (eg, ≥3 h/day). Among the accelerometer studies included, the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey is the largest and reported ∼6.1, 7.5 and 8.0 h/day mean sedentary time in children 6-11, 12-15 and 16-19 years old, respectively. Taken together, the existing literature across the world indicates a slightly higher level of sedentary behaviour in older children. Higher levels of sedentary behaviour were also reported in non-white children, children from lower socioeconomic status background and children from households with more access to televisions/computers. Lower levels of sedentary behaviour were reported in children whose parents have rules/limitations on screen time.

“…However, the research on restrictive mediation tends to be rather inconsistent, depending on the type of medium, content, or outcome analyzed. For example, restrictive mediation has been utilized by parents to decrease overall media use (i.e., Barradas, Fulton, Blanck, & Huhman, 2007;Carlson et al, 2010;Cillero & Jago, 2011;Livingstone & Helsper, 2008;Nathanson, 2002;Ramirez et al, 2011;te Velde et al, 2011), but the use of content restrictions appears to increase the amount of time spent viewing TV in at least one study (Vandewater, Park, Huang, & Wartella, 2005). Additionally, rules regarding TV content decrease the amount of violent and pornographic content (Livingstone & Helsper, 2008;Woolf, 2009) and child entertainment (i.e., cartoons;Truglio, Murphy, Oppenheimer, Huston, & Wright, 1996), and increase educational and prosocial content viewed by children (Woolf, 2009).…”

The current study examined how parental mediation of media (restrictive mediation, active mediation, and coviewing) influenced child outcomes. Three meta-analyses, 1 for each type of mediation, were conducted on a total of 57 studies. Each analysis assessed the effectiveness of parental mediation on 4 pertinent child outcomes: media use, aggression, substance use, and sexual behavior. The overall results indicated small, but significant relationships between child outcomes and restrictive mediation (r+ = -.06), and coviewing (r+ = .09). Overall active mediation was nonsignificant, though active mediation was individually related to lower levels of aggression (r+ = -.08), sexual behavior (r+ = -.06), and substance use (r+ = -.11). This analysis revealed that parents may have the ability to mitigate some of the adverse effects of the media by using certain mediation strategies. Overall, a cooperative effort from the communication and parenting fields is necessary for a comprehensive analysis of parental mediation as well as a disentanglement of the various parental mediation measures.

Diet, lifestyle and body weight in Irish children: findings from Irish Universities Nutrition Alliance national surveys

et al. 2014

Childhood obesity is an issue of public health concern globally. This review reports on levels of overweight and obesity in Irish children and examines some aspects of their diet and lifestyle proposed to promote or protect against increasing body fatness in children. While there is still some debate with regard to the most appropriate cut-off points to use when assessing body fatness in children, approximately one in five Irish children (aged 2-17 years) have been classified as overweight (including obese) according to two generally accepted approaches. Furthermore, comparison with previous data has shown an increase in mean body weight and BMI over time. On examining dietary patterns for Irish children, there was a noticeable transition from a less energy dense diet in pre-school children to a more energy dense diet in older children and teenagers, associated with a change to less favourable dietary intakes for fibre, fat, fruit and vegetables, confectionery and snacks and sugarsweetened beverages as children got older. A significant proportion of school-aged children and teenagers reported watching more than 2 h television per day (35 % on school-days and 65 % on week-ends) compared with 13 % of pre-school children. For children aged 5-12 years, eating out of the home contributed just 9 % of energy intake but food eaten from outside the home was shown to contribute a higher proportion of energy from fat and to be less fibre-dense than food prepared at home. Improvements in dietary lifestyle are needed to control increasing levels of overweight and obesity in children in Ireland.

Sociodemographic and home environment predictors of screen viewing among Spanish school children

Abstract: Environmental and sociocultural factors influence the time children spend in screen viewing. Parents play a central role in child's screen viewing; therefore, interventions that target environmental and family TV viewing practices are likely to be effective.
