Although the overall injury rate was steady, the number and rate of injuries associated with falling TVs increased significantly by 125.5% and 95.3%, respectively, during the study period. In addition, there was a significant 344.1% increase in the number of injuries associated with a TV falling from a dresser/bureau/chest of drawers/armoire during 1995–2011. Conclusions: The rate of pediatric injuries caused by falling TVs is increasing, underscores the need for increased prevention efforts. Prevention strategies include public education, provision of TV anchoring devices at the point of sale of TVs, TV anchoring device distribution programs, strengthening of standards for TV stability, and redesign of TVs to improve stability. 5.

Time for Bed: Associations with Cognitive Performance in 7-Year-Old Children: A Longitudinal Population-Based Study Kelly, Y, Kelly, J., & Sacker, A. (2013). Time for bed: associations with cognitive performance in 7-year-old children: a longitudinal population-based study. Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. ABSTRACT: Background: Little is known about the links between the time that young children go to bed and their cognitive development. In this paper we seek to examine whether bedtimes in early childhood are related to cognitive test scores in 7-year-olds. Methods: We examined data on bedtimes and cognitive test (z-scores) for reading, maths and spatial abilities for 11 178 7-year-old children from the UK Millennium Cohort Study. Results: At age 7, not having a regular bedtime was related to lower cognitive test scores in girls: reading (β: maths (β: and spatial (β: but not for −0.22), −0.26) −0.15), boys. Non-regular bedtimes at age 3 were independently associated, in girls and boys,
