Abstract: | Objectives: This study examined the association between TV viewing, fast food eating, and body mass index.
Methods: Associations between hours of TV viewing, frequency of eating at fast food restaurants, body mass index, and behaviors were assessed cross sectionally and longitudinally over 1 year in 1059 men and women.
Results: Fast food meals and TV viewing hours were positively associated with energy intake and body mass index in women but not in men. TV viewing predicted weight gain in high-income women.
Conclusions: Secular increases in fast food availability and access to televised entertainment may contribute to increasing obesity rates in the United States. (Am J Public Health. 1998;88:277-280).
