摘要: Explored connection between young adult BMI and time spent on interactive technology.We used technology as independent variable dependent variable.Young access to was not related BMI.Time with video chat, social networking, email higher among obese adults. Young adulthood (18-25years old) is a risky period for the development of obesity an understudied population in terms identifying weight-related determinates. Previous research has identified correlations Body Mass Index (BMI) sedentary behaviors, including television, children adolescents. adults have affinity technologies (i.e., email, cell phones, networking chat), but at present no studies investigated association technologies. A major contribution from this study conceptualization variable. (N=802) reported their height, weight, weekly technology. Obese participants significantly more total than non-obese peers. It proposed that use frequently because facilitate unobtrusive interactions mechanism control interactions.
