Background: It is largely unknown how TV use relates to depot-specif?c adiposity or cardiometabolic
risk in children.
Purpose: To examine relationships between having a TVin the bedroom and TV viewing time with
total fat mass, abdominal subcutaneous and visceral adiposity, and cardiometabolic risk in children
and adolescents.
Methods: A cross-sectional study of 369 children and adolescents aged 5–18 years was conducted
(2010 –2011; analysis 2011–2012). Waist circumference; resting blood pressure; fasting triglycerides,
high-density lipoprotein cholesterol [HDL-C] and glucose; fat mass by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry;
and abdominal subcutaneous and visceral adiposity by MRI were assessed. Cardiometabolic
risk was def?ned as three or more risk factors including adverse levels of waist circumference, blood
pressure, triglycerides, HDL-C, and glucose. Logistic regression analysis was used to compute ORs of
high fat mass; subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue mass (top age-adjusted quartile); and
cardiometabolic risk, based on self-reported TV present in the bedroom and TV viewing time,
controlling for age, gender, ethnicity, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity level, and unhealthy
diet.
Results: In multivariable models, presence of a TV in the bedroom and TV viewing time were
associated with (p0.05) higher odds of high waist circumference (OR1.9 –2.1); fat mass
(OR2.0 –2.5); and subcutaneous adiposity (OR2.1–2.9), whereas viewing TV 5 hours/day was
associated with high visceral adiposity (OR2.0). Having a TV in the bedroom was associated with
elevated cardiometabolic risk (OR2.9) and high triglycerides (OR2.0).
Conclusions: Having a bedroomTVandTVviewing time were related to high waist circumference,
fat mass, and abdominal subcutaneous adiposity. TV viewing time was related to visceral adiposity,
and bedroom TV was related to cardiometabolic risk in children, controlling for moderate-tovigorous
physical activity and an unhealthy diet.
