Abstract
The new generations live exposed daily to stimuli from electronic devices that are associated with maintaining sedentary behavior. So far, the possible relationships between the different components of lifestyle have not been explored in a representative sample of the population of Spanish minors. For this reason, this research was designed with the objectives of examining the degree of exposure to screens of Spanish children and identifying possible relationships in their lifestyle and other habits such as exercising and resting hours, as well as determining whether some of them influence your mental health. The results obtained showed that the exposure of Spanish children to screens is 15 hours a week, and that their lifestyle, although it could be improved, falls within health standards in terms of hours of rest and physical activity habits. The preventive policies of abuse of electronic devices in minors in Spain should place special emphasis on the sector with the worst results in the variables of mental health obtained in the present investigation: children under 7 years of age and with poor night-time rest habits and / or more hours of exposure to screens.
