Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between socioeconomic status (SES) and screen time (ST) in Chinese children and adolescents. The findings revealed that children and adolescents with higher parental education levels were more likely to meet the ST guidelines. Associations between SES and ST varied across sex and grade groups, as well as between weekdays and weekends. Therefore, targeting children and adolescents with low SES levels for intervention is crucial.

Summary: This study investigated the associations between screen time and lifestyle behaviors in American adolescents. The results showed that more than two hours of television time was significantly associated with lower frequency of eating fruits and vegetables, as well as smoking. More than two hours of computer/video time was significantly associated with physical inactivity, insufficient sleep, and not eating fruits.

Summary: This study found that compared to children with ≤ 1 hour of screen time per day, children with 2 or ≥3 hours per day had a higher likelihood of behavioral problems, delayed achievement of developmental milestones, and poorer vocabulary acquisition. These findings highlight the association between duration of screen time and factors of child development.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the usage of electronic screen devices among preschool-attending children in a suburban population in Sri Lanka. The findings revealed that electronic devices were widely used by children, with the television and smartphones being the most commonly used devices. Over 60% of children exceeded the recommended screen time limit of one hour per day. The father's higher education level, maternal employment, and being the only child were significantly associated with electronic screen device use.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the associations of physical education (PE), muscle-strengthening exercise (MSE), and sport participation with screen time. The results showed that participating in MSE and team sports were positively associated with reducing screen time in adolescents. The promotion of sports participation appears to be an important component for reducing excess screen time.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate problematic internet use in parents, including its correlates, patterns of screen use, and types of screens used. The findings showed that parents spent a significant amount of time using screens each day, particularly handheld mobile devices. The use of mobile devices may hinder positive parent-child interactions, highlighting the need for resources to support parents' increasing use of technology.

Summary: The study assessed compliance and feasibility of interventions targeting screen media use in families, with one intervention showing a significant reduction in screen time but low compliance. Another intervention showed potential in increasing children's non-sedentary time. Compliance to accelerometer wear protocol was high, indicating feasibility of the interventions.

Summary: Night-time screen-viewing contributes to inadequate sleep, poor diet, and excess weight. Adolescents using multiple devices at night increases night-time screen-viewing time. Reducing night-time screen-viewing, especially TV and portable devices, is crucial for promoting healthy development.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to examine the associations between different types of screen behavior and depression, taking into account exercise and sleep among children and adolescents. The findings showed that more time spent on newer types of screen behavior, such as social media, online games, and online videos, was associated with a higher prevalence of depression. In contrast, more time spent on TV was associated with a lower prevalence of depression. Sufficient exercise can lower the prevalence of depression, regardless of the length of time and content of the screen, and its associations were particularly significant for junior high school girls.

Summary: The study found that younger children without online schooling requirements had increased screen time during the lockdown. The increase was more pronounced in countries with longer lockdowns. Screen time during the lockdown was associated with socio-economic status, child age, caregiver screen time, and attitudes towards children's screen time.

Summary: The study found no association between smartphone screen time and physical activity levels in children and adolescents aged 10-15. However, girls aged 14-15 were more active both in smartphone use and physical activity compared to girls aged 10-12. Boys spent more time on computer and video games than girls.

Summary: This article reviews the health effects of excessive screen time (ST) viewing on children and adolescents, finding correlations between excessive ST viewing and obesity, mental health issues, unhealthy dietary habits, developmental issues, and problematic child-parent relationships. Negative effects on sleep, physical activity, eyesight, headaches, and the musculoskeletal system were also observed. However, the impact of ST varied depending on the type of media used and the way it was used. More research is needed to establish the correlation between excessive ST and youth health.
