Shi-Qiu Meng et al.

Summary: This meta-analytic review aimed to synthesize the global prevalence characteristics of digital addiction in the general population. The results showed that the global prevalence rates of smartphone addiction, social media addiction, Internet addiction, cybersex addiction, and game addiction were 26.99%, 17.42%, 14.22%, 8.23%, and 6.04% respectively. Higher prevalence of digital addiction was found in the Eastern Mediterranean region and low/lower-middle income countries, and males had a higher risk for Internet and game addiction. There was an increasing trend of digital addiction over the past two decades, which worsened significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study provides the first and comprehensive estimation of the global prevalence of multiple subtypes of digital addiction, which varied between regions, economic levels, time periods of publication, genders, and assessment scales.
