A total 89 families (181 164 adults) were recruited based survey habits...
Importance Excessive screen media use has been associated with poorer mental health among children and adolescents in several observational studies. However, experimental evidence supporting this hypothesis is lacking. Objective To investigate the effects of a 2-week reduction intervention on children’s adolescents’ health. Design, Setting, Participants This prespecified secondary analysis cluster randomized clinical trial follow-up included 89 families (with 181 adolescents) from 10 Danish...
Background Cycling is a recreational activity and mode of commuting with substantial potential to improve public health in many countries around the world. The aim this study was examine prospective associations between commuter cycling, changes cycling habits, risk type 2 diabetes (T2D) Danish adults from Diet, Cancer Health cohort study. Methods Findings At baseline 1993 1997, 24,623 men 27,890 women Denmark, 50–65 y age free T2D other chronic diseases, underwent number assessments,...
The screen-media landscape has changed drastically during the last decade with wide-scale ownership and use of new portable touchscreen-based devices plausibly causing changes in volume screen media way children young people entertain themselves communicate friends family members.

INTRODUCTION. Knowledge of the characteristics those who undergo major lower-extremity amputation (LEA) in Denmark is lacking. In this study, we described socioeconomic and demographic factors, comorbidity, healthcare contacts mortality people underwent LEA. METHODS. This was a descriptive observational study. We identified first non-traumatic LEAs (2019-2021) National Patient Registry classified by diabetes status. matched LEA population to from general based on age, sex, calendar quarter...
During the recent decade presence of digital media, especially handheld devices, in everyday life, has been increasing. Survey data suggests that children and adults spend much their leisure on screen including use social media video services. Despite public debate possible harmful effects such behavioral shifts, evidence from rigorously conducted randomized controlled trials free-living settings, investigating efficacy reducing physical activity, sleep, physiological stress, is still...
Screen media use is part of most children's everyday lives, but organisations have advised that should be limited. The aims this study were to describe 6–11-year-old Danish screen device ownership and (weekdays weekends), including the role parental education, family structure household rules.

Premature death from all causes and cardiovascular disease (CVD) is higher among persons with diabetes.
Studies have linked higher digital screen use with poorer mental health. However, there is limited experimental evidence to suggest a causal relationship. In this trial, we aimed investigate the effects of limiting recreational on well-being, mood, and biomarkers stress in healthy young middle-aged adults. We randomly allocated 89 families (including 164 adults) participate an extensive media reduction intervention or control. Participants group were instructed decrease their less than 3...
This study aimed to examine differences in heart rate variability (HRV) across accelerometer-derived position, self-reported sleep, and different summary measures (sleep, 24 h HRV) free-living settings using open-source methodology.
Abstract Objective Salivary cortisol and cortisone are used as biomarkers of physiological stress. Careful sampling saliva for profiling awakening response the diurnal slope can be challenging in free-living environments, validated protocols lacking. Therefore, we investigated (1) level compliance to a three-day home-based salivary protocol, (2) within subject day-to-day variability outcomes required measuring days obtain high reproducibility. Results Nineteen healthy adults (mean age: 42,...
Purpose: We aimed to develop and test a deep-learning system perform image quality diabetic macular ischemia (DMI) assessment on optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) images. Methods: This study included 7,194 OCTA images with diabetes mellitus for training primary validation 960 from three independent data sets external testing. A trinary classification the presence or absence of DMI were labeled all Two DenseNet-161 models built both tasks superficial deep capillary plexuses,...
This study evaluated the criterion validity of a newly developed application for assessing smartphone use on iOS and Android based devices. A sample adult Danes (n=40; 40% female; median age= 42.0 years) had SDU DeviceTracker installed their mobile phone together with commercial that served as reference comparison (Apple Screen Time (iOS) or ActionDash (Android)). Each participant collected data at least 6 days, adding up to total 277 assessment days. Day-level analyses were performed...

Background Advancements in screen media devices has transformed the way families engage with media. Although these modern offer many opportunities, e.g. communication and research online, an in-depth understanding of how affect our health, is lacking.
