With the widespread use of technology,
many houses now have access to internets. The widespread use has also caused
many kinds of dependencies. Many definitions such as television addiction,
internet addiction, mobile game addiction, social media addiction have entered
into the literature and have been studied. All these dependency models are
evaluated in the context of technology dependency. Increased time at the
beginning of the screen, physical inactivity, psychosocial problems, sleep
disorders, disruption of the diet, exposure to exposure to unhealthy food
consumption increases many risk factors such as obesity is supported by many
studies. It has also been proposed to increase physical activity-enhancing
practices in terms of combating obesity. Nevertheless it is thought that the
right use of technology and the increase in the level of knowledge can minimize
the risks.

Teknoloji Bağımlısı Çocuklarda Obeziteye Neden Olan Risk Faktörleri

Öz

Teknolojinin yaygınlaşması ile beraber
artık birçok evin internete ulaşımı sağlanmıştır. Kullanımın yaygınlaşması
beraberinde bağımlılıkları da getirmiştir. Televizyon bağımlılığı, internet
bağımlılığı, mobil oyun bağımlılığı, sosyal medya bağımlılığı gibi birçok tanım
literatüre girmiş ve üzerinde çalışmalar yapılmıştır. Tüm bu bağımlılık
modelleri teknoloji bağımlılığı çatısında değerlendirilmektedir. Ekran başında
geçen sürenin artması fiziksel inaktivite, psikososyal sorunlar, uyku
bozuklukları, beslenme düzeninin bozulması, reklama maruz kalma ile sağlıksız
besin tüketimlerinde artış gibi birçok faktörün obezite açısından risk
oluşturduğu yapılan birçok çalışma ile de desteklemektedir. Obezite ile
mücadele açısından fiziksel aktivite artırıcı uygulamaların arttırılması da
önerilmektedir. Genel olarak bakıldığında teknolojinin doğru kullanımı ve bilgi
düzeyinin artmasıyla risklerin en aza indirilebileceği düşünülmektedir.
