Screen time, physical activity, and overweight in U.S. youth: national survey of children's health 2003
Abstract
The purpose was to examine screen-based leisure time sedentary behavior and physical activity and overweight in a national sample of children. Boys and girls who engage in low physical activity and high leisure time sedentary behavior are two times more likely to be overweight than more active, less sedentary children.
