PURPOSE: This systematic review and meta-analysis summarised the distribution of outdoor time among children and adolescents and examined its temporal trends and associated factors.
METHODS: We systematically searched PubMed, Web of Science and Embase for studies published between 2005 and 2025 that reported the distribution and associated factors of outdoor time among children and adolescents aged 3-18 years. The risk of bias in the included studies was assessed using the Effective Public Health Practice Project tool. Meta-analysis was performed for major factors associated with outdoor time.
RESULTS: A total of 35 studies involving 131 091 participants were included. The overall mean outdoor time was 123.1 min/day (95% CI 109.9 to 136.2). Regionally, the higher mean value was observed in Africa (200.9 min/day, 95% CI 44.4 to 467.7), followed by South America (190.5 min/day, 95% CI 57.6 to 323.4), Oceania (129.4 min/day, 95% CI 3.2 to 466.4), Europe (128.0 min/day, 95% CI 108.4 to 147.5) and North America (116.4 min/day, 95% CI 79.9 to 152.8), while Asia showed the lowest estimates (99.7 min/day, 95% CI 79.7 to 119.6). Outdoor time was generally lower among girls, myopic individuals, urban areas and on weekdays. In terms of time trends, outdoor time has shown a declining tendency during the 2010s. The associated factors of outdoor time span multiple levels, including individual, family, school, societal and environmental factors.
CONCLUSIONS: In regions and populations with a higher prevalence of myopia, outdoor time is also relatively short. It is recommended to further promote initiatives to increase outdoor activity time in order to achieve better myopia control.
