Here is another warning for those who like to spend hours on digital screen. According to a new study, spending less than an hour per day on a tablet or smartphone can significantly increase the risk of myopia or proximity.
According to the study published at the JAMA Network Open, in systematic reviews and dosage-reaction met-analysis, digital screen time was associated with 21 percent more myopia (pass vision).
The dose-reaction pattern performed a sigmoidal shape, which indicates a possible security limit of less than 1 hour of the exposure, with an increase in obstacles up to 4 hours.
“These findings can provide guidance to physicians and researchers about Myopia Risk,” the researchers said.
Increasing use of digital screens has led to a large extent to operate cases.
The team reviewed the data of 45 investigations, which looked at the relationship between more than 335,000 participants to the toddlers to young adults from screen time and proximity.
Researchers stated that the risk of 1-4 hours increased significantly from time to time and then gradually increased.
However, no association was found with exposure within 1 hour, suggesting a potential security limit. Authors say that these conclusions can provide guidance to doctors addressing the “Myopia epidemic”.
Recently, industry experts in India discussed the role of technology and gadgets, which are some of the biggest dilemmas facing equally by students, parents and teachers, especially during the examination.
The long period of screen time can affect the cognitive functions of the brain. This is basically due to low attention duration and prolonged screen time, which often involves sitting in a difficult posture on a bed or couch.
This can cause various health related problems, such as obesity, body pain, spine problems, and back pain.
