Aim To assess the risk of bias (ROBIS) of systematic reviews (SRs) indexed across many bibliographic databases from inception up to April 2021 on digital interventions aimed at increasing physical activity and good nutrition in sub-populations of young people.
Level of Investigation Descriptive
Summary of Findings From 24 systematic reviews (SRs) indexed across many bibliographic databases from inception up to April 2021 on digital interventions aimed at increasing physical activity and good nutrition in sub-populations of young people The quality of evidence was limited with only one of the 24 of reviews overall judged as low risk of bias and all the rest as high using ROBIS. The ROBIS items which either had no information or "probably no" concerned 1) restrictions in eligibility criteria based on sources of information appropriate 2) restrictions based on date, publication format, or language appropriate 3) efforts made to minimise error in data collection and 4) the interpretation of findings address all the concerns identified in Domains 1 to 4 (eligibility criteria).
