HealthDay (10/5, Murez) reports research indicates that children “who exercised more and used technology less during the pandemic had better mental health outcomes.” Investigators arrived at that conclusion in a study that “included more than 500 parents of children aged 6 to 11 and more than 500 parent-adolescent pairs of kids aged 11 to 17,” all of whom “were questioned between Oct. 22 and Nov. 2, 2020.” The findingswere published online Oct. 1 in JAMA Network Open.
