New risk from too much screentime

Teens — and everyone else, it seems — spend an unhealthy amount of time sitting, a new survey finds”

In a new study, researchers analyzed survey data from more than 50,000 American children, teenagers and adults. The surveys, which went from 2001 through 2016, asked people how much time they spent sitting. “

“For adults and teens, the estimated total time sitting increased by nearly one hour a day between 2007 and 2016. That means teens now sit more than eight hours a day.”
