Welcome to our news and blogs section. Here you’ll find the latest developments and insights from across our longitudinal studies.
Two-year-olds in England watch television, videos or other digital content for an average of two hours each day, double the daily screen time recommended by the World Health Organisation for this age group.

Statistics confirm that children who watch more than two hours of television a day at the weekend risk becoming obese adults. And despite health warnings, the rate of exercise has not increased among adults who are overweight as the result of inactivity.
