Article Synopsis
- Screen time among children in Europe is influenced by various factors, including parents' sociodemographic characteristics and socioeconomic status.
- A study involving over 12,000 parents and children found that mothers with higher education, those in the middle age group, and families with higher incomes tend to have children with less than 2 hours of daily screen time.
- Conversely, maternal overweight/obesity and lower physical activity in kids were linked to increased screen time, suggesting that interventions should focus on helping low-income families and less-educated mothers.
The Feel4Diabetes project conducted a 2-year intervention aiming to encourage healthy behaviours in families in six European countries. Within this paper, the intervention effect was evaluated after the first intervention year on 24-hour physical behaviour composition in Belgian families at risk for type 2 diabetes. Parents' and children's levels of physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviour (SB) were objectively measured and sleep duration was self-reported.
