 TV Watching and Calorie Intake in Children
In a study of 548 students, mean age of 11, the amount of TV watched daily was linked to the number of calories children ate. For every extra hour of TV watching daily, children ate 167 more calories. Increased TV watching is linked to increased caloric intake, especially of calorie-dense, low-nutrient foods frequently advertised on TV.
