Even without reading it, I think table 2 says pretty much everything. The one positive result highlighted in redpic.twitter.com/dVQilu8oqh

Hard to blame the journos for this one tho, the study itself is pretty questionable. Not sure how you justify using logistic regression to analyze 25 covariates with such a small sample size

The conclusions, for example, argue that exposure to screens is a significant public health issue even though the results were negative for most markers of screen exposure? So weirdpic.twitter.com/6ssCs00o6l

Things that didn't increase risk of language disorders in children: - more screen time - screens in holidays, during meals, during the school day, after school etc - having the tv on more often - the age that kids were first exposed to screens

That being said, if my translation's correct the scientists basically said "this is an interesting association that should be studied more", which doesn't really come through in the headline!

Indont think it is 25 covariates in the model. It says it just adjusted for age, sex, number of siblings, and parents education. They do a stepwise regression with all screen time variables and come up with two significant variables.
