What is this Indicator?
This indicator shows the percentage of high school students who watch television three or more hours on an average school day. |
Why this is important:
Spending more than three hours a day watching television is associated with physical inactivity among adolescents. Studies have shown that increased adolescent TV viewing is associated with childhood and adult obesity.
