Despite previous studies, the association between screen-based sedentary behavior (SB) and erectile dysfunction (ED) remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between screen-based SB and ED using data from the 2001-2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). A total of 4,047 participants were included, of whom 1,192 (29.5%) had ED. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to analyze this association. After adjusting for potential confounders, screen-based SB exceeding 2 h per day was significantly associated with an increased risk of ED (OR = 1.32; 95% CI, 1.12-1.56; p < 0.0001). Subgroup analysis further confirmed a consistent and independent positive association across different population groups (all p for interaction > 0.05). These findings suggest a significant relationship between prolonged screen-based SB and ED in U.S. adult males. Further prospective studies are needed to confirm these results.

This study investigated the prospective associations between changes in 24-h movement behaviors and physical fitness (PF) components in preschool children; and examined how the reallocation of time between movement behaviours was associated with longitudinal changes in PF. This is a two-year longitudinal study of 200 Chinese children aged 3-4 years old. At baseline and follow-up, 24-h movement behaviors including moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), light physical activity (LPA), screen-based sedentary behavior (SSB), non-screen-based sedentary behavior (NSB), and sleep were assessed.

Background The rapid proliferation of digital devices in rural India has transformed media consumption among adolescents, creating complex patterns of multimodal screen exposure that are influenced by sociodemographic factors. Despite growing concerns about the health and developmental impacts of excessive screen time, limited data exist on rural contexts, where family structures and educational environments differ markedly from those in urban settings. Objective This study aims to identify sociodemographic predictors of multimodal screen exposure among rural Indian school children, with a focus on family structure, educational setting, and age.

Background: Muscular fatigue critically affects health, performance, and safety in daily activities and sports. Esports or competitive gaming involves prolonged sitting and repetitive upper extremity movements, increasing the risk of muscular fatigue. Sustained activity may contribute to long-term musculoskeletal disorders (MSD).

Introduction: Binge-watching refers to the consumption of screen-based content (excluding gaming) for five or more consecutive hours in a single session within the past month, which is an emerging behavior of concern among students. This study aims to examine the rate of binge-watching among children and adolescents in Hong Kong as well as the potential association with their psychological, social, and educational self-efficacy.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 2,267 students from primary and secondary schools in Hong Kong, recruited through convenience sampling.
