Objective To assess for a correlation between internet addiction and overweight/obesity in adolescents. Methods In this study, secondary data were collected from a previous study (April-July 2022) conducted in junior high schools in Denpasar. Internet addiction was determined using the Indonesian version of the Internet Addiction Test (IAT-Ina) questionnaire. We analyzed the association between internet addiction and overweight/obesity. Results A total of 641 children met the inclusion criteria. Among them, 242 (37.8%) were classified as having internet addiction, while 399 (62.2%) were not. One hundred seven (44.2%) children with internet addiction had overweight/obesity, whereas 145 (36.3%) of non-addicted children had the same condition. A significant positive association was found between internet addiction and overweight/obesity (PR 1.38; 95%CI 1.03 to 1.92; P=0.048). Conclusion Internet addiction is significantly associated with overweight and obesity in adolescents. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
