背景儿童和青春期看电视与不良健康指标有关，包括肥胖、健康状况不佳、吸烟和胆固醇升高。然而，还没有关于儿童观看和成人健康的纵向研究。我们对出生队列中的这些联系进行了研究，跟踪调查了26岁。方法我们评估了大约1000名1972-73年间出生在新西兰达尼丁的未经选择的个体，时间间隔固定到26岁。我们用回归分析的方法研究了26岁时较早看电视与体重指数、心肺功能(次极值自行车测试评估的最大有氧能力)、血清胆固醇、吸烟状况和血压之间的关系。研究发现，5岁至15岁的平均工作日夜间看电视与较高的体重指数(p=0.0013)、较低的心肺功能(p=0.0003)、吸烟增加(p=0.0003)相关。
Background Watching television in childhood and adolescence has been linked to adverse health indicators including obesity, poor fitness, smoking, and raised cholesterol. However, there have been no longitudinal studies of childhood viewing and adult health. We explored these associations in a birth cohort followed up to age 26 years.Methods We assessed approximately 1000 unselected individuals born in Dunedin, New Zealand, in 1972-73 at regular intervals up to age 26 years. We used regression analysis to investigate the associations between earlier television viewing and body-mass index, cardiorespiratory fitness (maximum aerobic power assessed by a submaximal cycling test), serum cholesterol, smoking status, and blood pressure at age 26 years.Findings Average weeknight viewing between ages 5 and 15 years was associated with higher body-mass indices (p=0.0013), lower cardiorespiratory fitness (p=0.0003), increased cigarette smoking (p
