Abstract

Objective

This study aims to identify factors associated with excessive screen time among preschoolers in Lima, Peru.

Methods

Cross-sectional analysis from a 2019 panel study in Lima, Peru, was conducted focusing on women, aged 18 and above, who are mothers of 3- to 5-year-olds in mid-high and mid-low districts. There were two outcome variables: excessive TV and excessive electronic devices screen time, defined as ≥ 1 h of screen exposure for each one. Explored factors included the mother’s age, education and wealth index and the children’s age, sex, physical activity, day care attendance and ultra-processed food consumption. Crude (cPR) and adjusted prevalence ratios (aPR) were estimated for the association between associated factors and excessive screen time using the GLM Poisson of with a logarithmic link.

Results

Excessive TV screen time and electronic devices prevalence was 74% and 36.9%, respectively. For TV screen time, a high wealth index (aPR 1.13; 95%CI: 1.03–1.23) and children’s age (aPR 1.18; 95%CI: 1.08–1.29 for 4 years, PR = 1.17; 95%CI: 1.07–1.28 for 5 years) were significant. For electronic devices, significant associations included mothers with more than 3 children (aPR 0.77; 95%CI: 0.62–0.96), being single (aPR 1.27; 95%CI: 1.01–1.58) and a high wealth index (aPR 1.38; 95%CI: 1.13–1.68). Furthermore, significant associations were found between excessive electronic device screen time and consumption of candies and chocolates (aPR 1.38; 95%CI: 1.08–1.77).

Conclusions

Seven out of 10 preschool children exceeded the recommended television screen time. Certain characteristics of the children, their mothers and the family’s socio-economic situation are related to excessive television screen time and excessive electronic device screen time.

秘鲁利马学龄前儿童屏幕时间的相关因素。

研究目的本研究旨在确定秘鲁利马学龄前儿童屏幕时间过长的相关因素：对秘鲁利马的一项 2019 年面板研究进行了横截面分析，重点关注中高区和中低区的 18 岁及以上女性，她们都是 3 至 5 岁儿童的母亲。结果变量有两个：过多的电视时间和过多的电子设备屏幕时间，每个变量的定义是屏幕接触时间≥ 1 小时。探讨的因素包括母亲的年龄、教育程度和财富指数，以及儿童的年龄、性别、体育活动、日托出席率和超加工食品消费量。使用带对数链接的 GLM Poisson 估计了相关因素与过度屏幕时间之间的粗略流行率（cPR）和调整流行率（aPR）：结果：过度使用电视屏幕和电子设备的比例分别为 74% 和 36.9%。就电视屏幕时间而言，高财富指数（aPR 1.13；95%CI：1.03-1.23）和儿童年龄（aPR 1.18；95%CI：4 岁为 1.08-1.29；PR = 1.17；95%CI：5 岁为 1.07-1.28）具有显著相关性。就电子设备而言，与下列因素有重要关联的是：母亲有 3 个以上子女（aPR 0.77；95%CI：0.62-0.96）、单身（aPR 1.27；95%CI：1.01-1.58）和财富指数高（aPR 1.38；95%CI：1.13-1.68）。此外，研究还发现，电子设备屏幕时间过长与糖果和巧克力消费量之间存在明显关联（aPR 1.38；95%CI：1.08-1.77）：10名学龄前儿童中有7名超过了建议的电视屏幕时间。儿童、其母亲和家庭社会经济状况的某些特征与过长的电视屏幕时间和过长的电子设备屏幕时间有关。

期刊介绍： Child: care, health and development is an international, peer-reviewed journal which publishes papers dealing with all aspects of the health and development of children and young people. We aim to attract quantitative and qualitative research papers relevant to people from all disciplines working in child health. We welcome studies which examine the effects of social and environmental factors on health and development as well as those dealing with clinical issues, the organization of services and health policy. We particularly encourage the submission of studies related to those who are disadvantaged by physical, developmental, emotional and social problems. The journal also aims to collate important research findings and to provide a forum for discussion of global child health issues.
