Longitudinal cohort study
of 550 children of average
age 9.6 y
ere was an odds ratio of 2.08 for
obesity with <10 h sleep

A meta-analysis of 12 studies
including 20,003 children
ere was a 1.86 odds ratio for obesity
with "short" duration of sleep

Increased screen time
Measurements at ~12 y of
age of 234 parents from
a previously established
cohort were compared with
382 of their offspring for
screen time and measures of
adiposity
Both generations demonstrated a
relationship between screen time
and obesity at about 12.5 y of age,
demonstrating a need to target high-
risk families across generations
