Parents’ influence will be discussed as well. Methods: Cross-sectional study. The proxy questionnaire was developed and adopted. We enrolled 1031 students at grade first to grade sixth from two elementary schools in Yilan. The percentage and average of screen time, physical activity and overweight are calculated. Logistic regression was used to examine the influence of screen time and their parents’ on the odds of not meeting recommendation of physical activity and being overweight. Result: 54.9% of children exceed 2 hrs daily total screen time. Children not meeting screen time recommendations were 3.01 times less likely to meet physical activity recommendation and were 4.84 times more likely to be overweight than those complying with recommendation. Besides, screen time had a stronger influence on both physical activity and obesity in females. Parents with >2 and >4 hours per day of screen time were associated with children’s not meeting physical activity recommendation. Conclusion: Over half of children failed to meet the total screen time recommendation. Children not meeting screen time recommendation were less likely to meet physical activity recommendation and tend to be overweight. Reducing screen time during childhood may be a promising strategy for increasing levels of physical activity and reducing obesity, especially in females. And if parents reduce their screen time, it might prevent their child from low physical activity. Yi-Ching Lin 林宜靜 2015 學位論文 ; thesis 86 zh-TW |
