| Abstract |
Nowadays children and adolescents are increasing exposed to screen viewing time (SVT) opportunities. Excessive SW time been linked to negative outcomes such as obesity, poor cognitive performance, antisocial behavior and reduced sleep time. This cross-sectional study was aimed to describe screen viewing time and physical activity of adolescent students in a secondary school located in municipality area of Khon Kaen Province, Thailand. Total 304 of student subjects (grade 7 – 9, aged 12-15) was selected by cluster random sampling. Demographic data and SVT were collected by a structural questionnaire. STV refered to the amount of time spent on watching television (TV), playing computer games and using multiscreen for social networking. Physical activity questionnaire for adolescents (PAQ-A) was used to assess general levels of physical activity of the subjects. SVT of male and female was compared by two independent t-test. Pearson correlation was analyzed the association of SVT and physical activity score. Multiple logistic regression was analyzed the association of SVT and socioeconomic variable. Results indicated that sixty-one percent of the subjects were female with average (SD) age 13.0 ± 0.87 years. Average pocket money received 101 ± 48 Baht/day. Most of their parents have educational level in Bachelor degree. The subjects spent average total SVT 5.9 ± 2.8 hr/day from this amount of time consisted of time spent in using social media (line, facebook, instagram, twitter etc.) by 2.3 ±1.2 hr/day, watching TV by1.5 ±1.2 hr/day, and playing computer games by 2.1 ± 2.0 hr/day. Majority (78%) of them had low level of physical activity. For gender stratum, male spent significantly more time in playing game than female (p-value 0.001). Multiple logistic regress showed that male were risk of spending excessive SVT (>5 hr/day) than female (ORadj 1.66, 95%CI 1.01 to 2.73). SVT was negatively associated with physical activity score (r -0.123, p-value 0.03). In conclusion, the finding indicate that adolescents aged 12-15 spent excessive SVT and had low physical activity. Effective intervention program are needed to encourage adolescents to have more time in exercise and reduce time for screen especially in boys. |
