ATLANTA — People who spend more time per day using wireless mobile devices are more likely to have a higher BMI, lower-quality sleep and other adverse health outcomes, according to a presenter at ENDO 2022.
In findings from a literature review, each hour per day increase in mobile screen time was associated with an increase in BMI, and excessive device use was linked to insufficient sleep, greater daytime tiredness, sleepiness and depression. The adverse health outcomes make it imperative for people to use strategies to reduce their mobile device use, according to Nidhi Gupta, MD,
