American children aren't the only couch potatoes with nearly one third of children globally spending three hours a day or more watching TV or on computers, according to study of over 70,000 teens in 34 nations.

From Argentina to Zambia, Regina Guthold of the World Health Organization in Geneva and her colleagues found most children aren't getting enough exercise and it made no difference if they lived in a rich or a poor country.

"With regards to physical activity levels, we did not find much of a difference between poor and rich countries," Guthold said. "Growing up in a poor country does not necessarily mean that kids get more physical activity."

The study, published in The Journal of Pediatrics, looking at 72,845 schoolchildren aged 13 to 15 from North and South America, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. The children were surveyed between 2003 and 2007.

The researchers defined adequate physical activity as at least an hour of exercise outside of gym class at least five days a week.

Children who spent three or more hours a day watching TV, playing computer games, or chatting with friends -- aside from time in school or time spent doing homework -- were classified as sedentary.

The researchers found only one quarter of the boys and 15 percent of the girls were getting enough exercise by these definitions.

While the study didn't look at the reasons behind the lack of physical activity in various nations, Guthold speculated that urbanization could be a factor as well as access to cars and TVs.

一项面向34个国家7万多名青少年开展的调查显示，爱泡在电视机前的并非只有美国儿童，全球近三分之一的儿童每天看电视或玩电脑的时间达到三小时甚至更多。

位于日内瓦的世界卫生组织的瑞吉娜•古特尔德和她的同事发现，从阿根廷到赞比亚，全球多数儿童都缺乏锻炼，而且这和他们生活在富国和穷国没有多大关系。

古特尔德说：“在身体锻炼水平上，我们发现穷国和富国的孩子没有太大差别。在贫穷国家长大，并不意味着能得到更多的锻炼。”

该研究在《儿科学期刊》上发表。研究人员于2003年至2007年间对南北美洲、亚洲、欧洲和中东地区年龄在13岁到15岁之间的72845名学生进行了调查。

除了在学校或做作业的时间外，每天看电视、玩电脑游戏或和上网聊天的时间超过三小时的孩子被定义为”惯于久坐”。

研究人员发现，根据这些定义，只有四分之一的男孩和15%的女孩进行了足够的锻炼。

尽管这一研究没有探究各国儿童缺乏身体锻炼的背后原因，但据古特尔德分析，除汽车和电视的普及外，都市化也是其中一个因素。
