Answer 1

The correct answer is Option D: 3hours or more.

The average 8 to 18 year-old spends 3 hours or more per day on average in front of a screen doing very little to no physical activity.

How does screen time affect children’s physical activity?

• Regular exercise reduces the risk of obesity and diseases in children and adolescence.
• However, due to recent advances in technology and the advent of mobile phones, TVs, laptops, children spend most of their time on-screen remaining physically inactive.
• Researchers have identified a relationship between low levels of physical activity and high screen time especially among children aged 10-16 years.
• Children spending massive amounts of time on media have reduced physical activity, thus increased obesity and diseases.
• Spending more time on-screen results in behavioral problems, psychological issues, attention problems and affects physical health.
• Parents need to set limits to their children for using phones and encourage them to eat healthy and remain physically active.
