Watching television more than two hours a day early in life can lead to attention problems later in adolescence, according to a study released on Tuesday.
The roughly 40 percent increase in attention problems among heavy TV viewers was observed in both boys and girls
The link was established by a long-term study of the habits and behaviors of more than1,000 children born in Dunedin, Hew Zealand, between April 1972 and March 1973.
"Those who watched more than two hours, and particularly those who watched more than three hours, of television per day during childhood had above-average symptoms of attention problems in adolescence," Carl Landhuis of the University of Otago in Dunedin wrote in his report, published in the journal Pediatrics.
"It suggests that the effects of childhood viewing on attention may be long lasting," Landhuis wrote.
Landhuis offered several possible explanations for the association.
One was that the rapid scene changes common to many TV programs may over excite the developing brain of a young child, and could make reality seem boring by comparison.
"Therefore, children who watch a lot of television may become less tolerant of slower-paced and more mundane tasks, such as school work," he wrote.
It was also possible that TV viewing may supplant(擠占) other activities that promote concentration, such as reading, games, sports and play, he said.
Previous studies have linked the habit of long TV watching among children to over weight and diabetes(糖尿病), and another study in the same journal stated the poor nutritional content of the majority of food products advertised on the top-rated US. children's television shows.
Up to 98 percent of the TV ads promoting food products that were directed at children aged 2 through 11 "were high in either fat, sugar, or salt," wrote Lisa Powell of the University of Illinois in Chicago.
