Analysis of the figures reveals a "strong positive correlation" between hours spent on TV/video gameplay and the percentage of children classed as overweight in the US.

The District of Columbia had the highest percentage of overweight children, and the highest percentage of children spending four hours-plus in front of a screen every day.
