Abstract

Objectives: The association between screen time and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has been controversial. This study sheds light on the contentious correlation between screen time and ADHD.

Content: Until August 2022, electronic searches of the PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases were carried out. The combined effect value odds ratios (OR) and 95 % confidence interval (95 % CI) were calculated for the meta-analysis using Stata 12.0. There were 81,234 children in the nine studies that made up this meta-analysis which included 28,997 children with ADHD and 52,237 healthy controls. When compared with the screen time <2  h/d, the OR (95 % CI) value of screen time and ADHD in the screen time ≥2 h/d group was 1.51 (1.20-1.90).

Summary and outlook: Based on the current meta-analysis results, our study found a positive correlation between screen time and the risk of ADHD. Excessive screen exposure may significantly contribute to the development of ADHD in children. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce screen time per day in children to prevent the occurrence of ADHD.

屏幕时间与儿童注意缺陷多动障碍:一项元分析。

目的:屏幕时间与注意缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)之间的关系一直存在争议。这项研究揭示了屏幕时间与多动症之间有争议的相关性。内容:直到2022年8月，PubMed, Embase和Web of Science数据库的电子搜索都在进行。使用Stata 12.0计算meta分析的综合效应值优势比(OR)和95 %置信区间(95 % CI)。在这项荟萃分析的9项研究中，有81234名儿童参与，其中包括28997名多动症儿童和52237名健康对照。总结与展望:根据目前的荟萃分析结果，我们的研究发现屏幕时间与ADHD风险呈正相关。过度的屏幕暴露可能会显著促进儿童多动症的发展。因此，有必要减少儿童每天的屏幕时间，以防止ADHD的发生。

期刊介绍： Reviews on Environmental Health (REVEH) is an international peer-reviewed journal that aims to fill the need for publication of review articles on hot topics in the field of environmental health. Reviews on Environmental Health aims to be an inspiring forum for scientists, environmentalists, physicians, engineers, and students who are concerned with aspects of human health, including quality of life, that are determined by physiological and psychosociological interactions between man and physical, chemical, biological, and social factors in the environment. Reviews on Environmental Health is an important niche served by no other journal, that’s being a site where thoughtful reviews can be published on a variety of subjects related to both health and environment. One challenge is to bridge the research on environmental causes of disease with the clinical practice of medicine. Reviews on Environmental Health is a source of integrated information on environment and health subjects that will be of value to the broad scientific community, whether students, junior and senior professionals, or clinicians.
