This study aimed to examine how environmental factors are associated with physical activity (PA) and screen-time (ST) among children with and without ASD (n = 1380 and 1411, respectively). For TD children, the absence of a bedroom television and neighborhood support were associated with PA. For children with ASD, no environmental factors were associated with PA. Regarding ST, the presence of a bedroom television, absence of limits on ST, lack of neighborhood amenities and support, and adverse neighborhood factors were all associated with ST among TD children. For children with ASD, the presence of a bedroom television and the absence of limits on ST were associated with ST. Potential explanations for this dichotomy and suggestions for future research are discussed.
本研究旨在探讨环境因素与 ASD 儿童和非 ASD 儿童的体力活动（PA）和屏幕时间（ST）之间的关系（n=1380 和 1411）。对于 TD 儿童，卧室没有电视和邻里支持与 PA 相关。对于 ASD 儿童，没有环境因素与 PA 相关。至于 ST，卧室有电视、没有 ST 时间限制、缺乏邻里设施和支持以及不良的邻里因素都与 TD 儿童的 ST 相关。对于 ASD 儿童，卧室有电视和没有 ST 时间限制与 ST 相关。讨论了这种二分法的潜在解释和对未来研究的建议。
