Nutrition:

  • In the United States, the percentage of children and adolescents affected by obesity has more than tripled since the 1970s.1
  • Data from 2015-2016 show that nearly 1 in 5 school age children and young people (6 to 19 years) in the United States has obesity.2

Backpacks:

  • 2,000 backpack-related injuries each year, according to a national ER poll
  • 55 percent carry loads greater than 10 percent of their body weight, according to a study of grade school kids
  • 85 percent had discomfort and pain due to backpack use, according to a study of college students
  • 80 percent had less pain and body strain when they changed how they loaded and wore their backpacks, according to a study of middle schoolers

Cell phone/Tablet Usage:

  • Kids under 8 look at mobile ones for an average of 48 minutes per day, according to a 2017 report from Common Sense Media. That's more than triple the average recorded four years earlier.
  • When you factor in TV, total screen time tops out at about 2 hours and 9 minutes every day.
  • The American Academy of Pediatricsrecommends no more than one hour per day of high-quality programs for children ages 2 to 5, and consistent limits for kids 6 and older.
