Abstract

Building upon the aforementioned context, this study seeks to elucidate the relationship between diminished physical activity and the prevalence of overweight/obesity attributed to the extensive utilization of screens and multimedia devices, with particular attention to the role of familial influences. The present investigation employed practical methodologies and field research techniques. A semi-structured questionnaire comprising ten inquiries was administered to children aged 10 to 16, irrespective of gender, who were officially enrolled in a private school located in the town of Serrana - SP. The study reveals significant aspects pertaining to individuals' engagement with screens, characterized by a notable prevalence of prolonged screen time. It underscores the crucial role of familial dynamics and socio-economic circumstances in shaping children's caregiving practices, which warrant attention in mitigating the development of detrimental habits that may compromise individuals' quality of life.
