Objective: To investigate the level of preschool children’s weekend screen time in Zhejiang Province, and to explore family related factors. Methods: A total of 6 829 preschool children were selected from 25 kindergartens in Zhejiang Province from March to April 2019. Through a questionnaire survey among their caregivers, relevant data and information such as children’s screen time and family related factors were obtained. Result: The report rate of children in different age groups whose average screen time per day on weekends ≥2 h/d: boys were higher than girls( P <0.05); and the difference between boys and girls in the age groups of 3, 3.5, 4 and 6 was statistically significant( P <0.05). At the age of 3, the lowest rate of video time ≥2 h/d report was 9.57% and 6.03% for boys and girls, while at the age of 5.5, the highest rate was 18.49% and 17.37% for boys and girls. Logistic regression analysis showed that age, boy( OR =1.33), caregiver( OR =1.42), father’s high school( OR =1.36), father’s junior high school and below( OR =1.37), and parents’ no exercise habit ( OR =1.47) were associated with high screen time during weekend( P <0.05). Conclusion Family related factors can affect children’s screen time. Parents should pay attention to children’s screen time in the process of children’s growth.

Objective: To explore sleep duration and associated factors among children aged 3-6 years old in Zhejiang Province. Methods: A total of 7 034 children aged 3-6 years from 24 kindergartens in Zhejiang province were selected through clustered sampling method. Through parental questionnaire, child sleep duration and associated factors were colleted. Possible influencing factors of sleep insufficiency were analyzed by logistic regression model. Results: The rate of insufficient sleep was 56.1%, with 57.1% for boys and 55.1% for girls in Zhejiang Province. The rate of insufficient sleep increased with the increase of age, which was 46.7%, 49.8%, 50.2%, 55.2%, 64.0%, 65.8% and 68.1% for 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5 and 6.0 years old group (χ 2=45.71, P<0.01), respectively. The rate of insufficient sleep was 59.9%, 54.7% and 45.6% for children with <1 h/d, 1-2 h/d and ≥2 h/d outdoor physical activity (χ 2=67.10, P<0.01). Multivariate Logistic regression model showed that children older than 4.5 years old, whose caregiver was other than parents, outdoor activity time< 1 h/d and 1-2 h/d, maternal education below junior middle school and senior high school were positiviely associated with sleep insufficiency [OR(95%CI) was 1.29(1.07-1.54), 1.97(1.64-2.37), 2.04(1.69-2.46), 2.35(1.82-3.03), 1.21(1.08-1.35), 1.73(1.49-2.01), 1.47(1.26-1.72), 1.35(1.15-1.59), 1.16(1.01-1.32), P<0.05]. Conclusion Sleep insufficiency among preschool children is associated with multiple factors, increase of age, insufficient outdoor activity and overdose screen time in particular. The finding calls for outdoor physical activity promotion among preschool children, especially for those whose caregivers are those other than parents.
