Implication

Analysis shows screen time increases cardiometabolic risk in children and adolescents, suggesting lifestyle factors like sleep play a significant role.

Key Points

  • Higher screen time is linked to increased cardiometabolic risk in both children (β=0.08, P=0.021) and adolescents (β=0.13, P=0.001).
  • Sleep duration moderates the risk, with shorter sleep associated with higher cardiometabolic risk in both childhood and adolescence.
  • Screen time correlates with elevated predicted cardiovascular risk in adolescents (β=0.07, P=0.017), stressing the need for monitoring in this age group.
  • A validated metabolomic signature associated with screen time emphasizes the harm of excessive screen exposure early in life.
