This study is aiming to evaluate the association between
                television viewing during childhood and long-term adolescent
                neuropsychological outcomes and the potential explanatory
                pathways. This is a longitudinal study based on 278 children
                participating in the INMA birth cohort (1998) in Menorca Island,
                Spain. The exposure is parent-reported duration of child
                television viewing (hours per week) at 6 and 9 years of age.
                Neuropsychological outcomes were assessed at 14 years of age
                using the N-back test. Behavioral outcomes at 14 years of age
                were assessed using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire
                (SDQ) and school performance was assessed by the global school
                score. Regression models were developed to quantify the
                associations between duration of television viewing and
                neuropsychological outcomes adjusted for child and parents'
                characteristics. The average of weekly TV viewing from 6 to 9
                years was 9.2 h (SD: 4.1). Only N-back test outcomes exhibited
                statistically significant differences in crude models. Children
                viewing > 14 h per week tended to show larger latencies in
                working memory reaction time (HRT in ms), beta (CI) = 53
                (0-107). After adjusting for potential social confounders, the
                association weakened and became non-significant but adverse
                trends were slightly preserved. Early life TV viewing was not
                associated with adolescent neuropsychological outcomes after
                adjustment for potential confounders. Further research including
                larger and exhaustive population-based cohort studies is
                required in order to verify our conclusions.
