The statement only shows a correlation, meaning that children who watch more TV are more likely to be overweight. It does not prove causation that watching TV directly causes obesity. Additionally, it does not suggest that normal-weight children never watch television. Therefore, the best conclusion is that there is a correlation between increased TV watching and obesity.
