Highlights
  • We assessed pathological gaming (PG), which is a gaming disorder broadly defined using a questionnaire among elementary school children.
  • The prevalence of PG was 5.6% and unhealthy lifestyles, irritability, and low functioning in school and family environments were associated with PG.
  • Besides having a healthy lifestyle, parental involvement appears to be an indispensable countermeasure for PG in children.
