Whether longer screen time in infancy increases risk of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and ADHD has long been debated, but no causal relationship between the two remains has been established. Using ongoing longitudinal cohort data, we found that in children 24 to 40 months of age, the genetic risk of ASD was associated with longer screen time and that of ADHD with an increase in screen time over time. These data suggest that prolonged screen time may not be a cause of the genetic risk for NDD, but an early sign of NDDs.
婴儿期较长的屏幕使用时间是否会增加神经发育障碍(如自闭症谱系障碍和注意力缺陷多动障碍)的风险,长期以来一直存在争议,但两者之间尚未确立因果关系。利用正在进行的纵向队列数据,我们发现,在24至40个月大的儿童中,自闭症谱系障碍的遗传风险与较长的屏幕使用时间有关,而注意力缺陷多动障碍的遗传风险则与屏幕使用时间随时间增加有关。这些数据表明,长时间的屏幕使用可能不是神经发育障碍遗传风险的原因,而是神经发育障碍的早期迹象。
