A recent multi-site Japanese study found that male toddlers who watched more television at age one were more likely to be diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) at age 3
"Amid this social climate, examining the associations of screen exposure with a child's health is an important public health issue."
After the team screened approximately 100,00 pregnant women from a large Japanese birth cohort called the Japan Environment and Children’s Study between January 2011 to March 2014 across 15 regional centers, they found 84,030 mother-child pairs appropriate to analyze in December 2020, after excluding participants for missing data, stillbirths, miscarriages and children born with congenital conditions or cerebral palsy, per the study.
