Abstract

Longer gadget use duration may reduce opportunities for interaction and play activities that support attention and child development. This study aimed to analyze the association between the duration of gadget use, concentration, and developmental screening outcomes in children aged 3–5 years. A cross-sectional study was conducted from January to March 2026 at five purposively selected early childhood education centers in Bekasi City, Indonesia. Of the 201 registered children, 184 gadget users who met the study criteria were included in the analysis. The duration of gadget use was assessed using caregiver reports. Concentration was evaluated using a 10-item observation checklist (high concentration: score ≥7), and developmental status was screened using the age-appropriate KPSP. Associations were analyzed using Firth logistic regression and multivariable logistic regression adjusted for age, sex, center, sleep duration, parental education, socioeconomic status, nutritional status, dietary patterns, and supervision by caregivers. The mean duration of gadget use was 1.79±0.83 hours/day, with excessive use (>1 hour/day) identified in 120 children (65.2%). Recommended duration use (≤1 hour/day) was significantly associated with high concentration (adjusted OR=15.57; p<0.001) and appropriate developmental screening outcomes (adjusted OR=3.39; p=0.004). An increase in duration showed a graded decline in the favorable outcomes. In conclusion, a longer gadget use duration was associated with lower concentration and less favorable developmental screening outcomes in children.

Abstract

In Indonesia, obesity continues to pose a pressing public health challenge shaped by both behavioral patterns and dietary habits. This study aimed to examine the relationship between physical activity, energy intake, dietary fiber intake, and selected sociodemographic characteristics and body mass index (BMI) among adults in the Minanga Public Health Center catchment area, Manado City, Indonesia. Methods: This cross-sectional study enrolled 95 adults from the Minanga Public Health Center catchment area, Manado City, Indonesia, between January and March 2025, with participants recruited through purposive sampling. Physical activity levels were quantified in MET-min/week using the Indonesian-validated International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), and habitual dietary intake was captured using a validated Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQ-FFQ). Descriptive statistics, Mann–Whitney U and Kruskal–Wallis tests, Spearman correlation, and multiple linear regression were used for data analysis. Results: Physical activity and dietary fiber intake showed inverse associations with BMI, whereas energy intake was positively associated with BMI. In the multivariate model, physical activity (β = −0.405; p < 0.001), energy intake (β = 0.633; p < 0.001), and dietary fiber intake (β = −0.452; p < 0.001) retained independent significance, with the model accounting for 75.1% of the variance in BMI (adjusted R² = 0.742). In conclusion, physical activity, energy intake, and dietary fiber intake independently predicted BMI in this population, providing evidence to guide obesity prevention efforts in primary care settings.
