背景较高的屏幕观看水平会增加肥胖的风险。了解屏幕观看的相关性是设计干预措施的重要第一步，但缺乏西班牙儿童之间的相关性的信息。这项研究考察了西班牙儿童的环境、社会文化、年龄变量和屏幕观看之间的关联。方法儿童完成了一份有关屏幕观看时间的调查问卷。评估BMI，并使用国际肥胖工作组的截止点将儿童分为肥胖组。家长完成了一份问卷调查的社会人口，环境和社会文化variables.Results参与者是247小学和256中学学龄儿童和他们的父母。花在看屏幕上的时间随着年龄的增长而增加。男性比女性花更多的时间在看屏幕上。更多地接触卧室媒体来源与更高的屏幕观看相关。来自单亲家庭的年幼儿童和有年幼父母、兄弟姐妹和父亲不工作的年长儿童在周末和工作日的屏幕观看率分别较高。对于年龄较大的儿童，父母看电视的时间似乎是一个显着的相关性，而父母的规则是一个决定性的预测年幼的孩子在工作日。结论环境和社会文化因素影响的时间孩子花在屏幕上观看。父母在孩子的屏幕观看中发挥着核心作用;因此，针对环境和家庭电视观看习惯的干预措施可能是有效的。
Background Higher screen-viewing levels increase the risk of obesity. Understanding the correlates of screen viewing is an important first step in designing interventions but there is lack of information on the correlates among Spanish children. This study examined associations among environmental, sociocultural, age variables and screen viewing among Spanish children.Methods Children completed a questionnaire about time spent in screen viewing. BMI was assessed and children were classified into obesity groups using International Obesity Task Force cut-off points. Parents completed a questionnaire about sociodemographic, environmental and sociocultural variables.Results Participants were 247 primary and 256 secondary school-aged children and their parents. Time spent in screen viewing increased with age. Males spent more time than females in screen viewing. Greater access to bedroom media sources was associated with higher screen viewing. Younger children from single-parent households and older children having a younger parent, siblings and a father who was not working were higher screen-viewers on weekends and weekdays, respectively. For older children parental TV viewing time appeared to be a significant correlate, while parental rules was a determinant predictor for younger children on weekdays.Conclusions 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.
