Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To determine the association between suicidal behaviors (ideation, planning and attempt) and sedentary behavior in adolescents.

METHOD: Systematic searches were performed in eight databases (MEDLINE/PubMed; Web of Science; Scopus; SPORTDiscus; LILACS; SciELO; PsycINFO; CINAHL). The effect measures used for meta-analysis were odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals, directly collected from included studies.

RESULTS: Eleven studies were included in the systematic review and six articles were included in the meta-analysis. The meta-analysis showed that adolescents who used video games/computers for ≥3 hours/day were more likely of having suicidal ideation. Adolescents who used television or video game/computer for ≥3 hours/day were more likely of having suicide attempt. Boys who spent ≥3 hours/day in combined sedentary behavior were less likely of having suicidal attempt.

CONCLUSIONS: There is an increased likelihood of suicidal behaviors, in special suicide ideation and attempt in adolescents who used video games/computers and watched television for ≥3 hours/day. © 2022 Centro Andaluz de Medicina del Deporte. All rights reserved.
