Definition(s)
- Both media use and obesity have increased dramatically during the past decades, causing concern that increased time spent using media products such as computers may be contributing to the growing obesity epidemic in the United States. Although only 8 percent of American households owned a personal computer in 1984, 62 percent owned at least one by 2003, and nearly 60 percent of adults and children aged 3–17 years used the internet, compared to 19 percent of children and 37 percent of adults in 1998.
