초록	Objectives: Hypertension remains the leading modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and premature mortality worldwide. In parallel with this global burden, rapid digitalization has led to unprecedented increases in screen-based behaviors across all age groups, including children, adolescents, working-age adults, and older populations. Screen time represents a distinct form of sedentary behavior characterized not only by physical inactivity but also by prolonged exposure to artificial light, cognitive stimulation, sleep disruption, and behavioral displacement of physical activity. Emerging evidence suggests that excessive screen exposure may influence blood pressure regulation through multiple interconnected mechanisms, including autonomic imbalance, sympathetic nervous system activation, circadian rhythm disruption, impaired sleep quality, metabolic dysregulation, and adverse lifestyle patterns such as reduced physical activity and unhealthy dietary behaviors. Despite growing epidemiological interest, findings across studies remain heterogeneous, and the magnitude and consistency of the association between screen time and hypertension have not been systematically synthesized in recent years. Given the rapid evolution of digital media use and its potential public health implications, an updated systematic review and meta-analytic assessment is warranted. Methods: To systematically examine recent worldwide evidence on the relationship between screen time and hypertension, we used studies published from 2022 to 2025 addressing both screen exposure and blood pressure outcomes. Screening, selection, and synthesis followed PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. Results: Out of 2,436 titles identified, 24 full-text articles were screened, five studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in the quantitative synthesis. Prolonged screen time was consistently associated with higher odds of hypertension across populations. Conclusion: Evidence supports a significant association between prolonged screen time and hypertension risk. However, variations in measurement methods and study design warrant further longitudinal and interventional research to clarify causal mechanisms and thresholds for risk.
