This study investigated the association between screen time in adolescence and Attention Deficit Disorder (ADHD) at 22 years old.
A sample of 2333 participants aged 11 years old without ADHD from the 1993 Pelotas Birth Cohort Study (Brazil) was followed up until the age of 22. Screen time variables included time spent in television, video game and computer at 11, 15, and 18 years old. ADHD was assessed at 22 years.
ADHD symptoms at 22 years was positively associated with television time at 11 years, computer time at 18 years and total screen time at ages 11, 15, and 18 years. Television time at 11 years and total screen time at 18 years were associated with diagnosis of ADHD at 22 years of age.
Our findings may contribute to future investigations of possible explanatory avenues for these associations.
本研究调查了青少年时期的屏幕使用时间与22岁时注意力缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)之间的关联。
对1993年佩洛塔斯出生队列研究(巴西)中2333名11岁无ADHD的参与者进行随访,直至其22岁。屏幕使用时间变量包括11岁、15岁和18岁时花在电视、电子游戏和电脑上的时间。在22岁时评估ADHD。
22岁时的ADHD症状与11岁时的看电视时间、18岁时的电脑使用时间以及11岁、15岁和18岁时的总屏幕使用时间呈正相关。11岁时的看电视时间和18岁时的总屏幕使用时间与22岁时的ADHD诊断相关。
我们的研究结果可能有助于未来对这些关联的可能解释途径进行调查。
