Nowadays, Chinese children’s lack of physical activity and their early exposure to such electronic products as smartphones and tablets are causing health problems like obesity and myopia. Nearly 37 percent of students in the fourth year of primary school have myopia, and the proportion of obese boys was 8.5 percent and girls 5.1 percent in the same grade last year, according to the latest report on the quality of compulsory education from the Ministry of Education. http://www.womenofchina.cn/womenofchina/html1/features/health/1903/1470-1.htm
