Scientists at the University of Copenhagen found out that during childhood, too much time in childhood is connected with the growth of cardiovascular risks, such as hypertension, high cholesterol and insulin resistance. The work was published in the magazine of the American Heart Association (JAHA).
Researchers have analyzed more than a thousand participants, children and adolescents. It turned out that each additional time in front of the screen increases the risk of metabolic disorders, especially if the child sleeps little and lays too late to sleep.
"These changes start very early. We see that adolescents who spend six hours a day have a significantly higher metabolic risk than their peers, "said Dr. David Father.
It's not just about lifestyle. Children who spent a lot of time in front of their phones and played video games, they had a special "Hetq", metabolism changes, especially with the screen activity. In adolescents, these changes already show the connection to the potential risk of cardiovascular disease at an adult age.
In addition, scientists have found that bad sleep increases the damage spent in front of the screen. Participants who slept less or later they had more expressive negative indicators, even in the case of time spent on the same amount of gadgets.
Experts emphasize: In the modern world, it is impossible to get rid of screens, but you can change your habits. For example, move the time in front of the screen in the morning and donate the evening to rest.
