Every hour spent watching Tv, Dvds, videos as an adult reduces life expectancy by 22 minutes a study suggests.
People who watch Tv on an average of six hours each day can expect to live 5 years less than those who do not. Tv lovers take note


Anyone who spends six hours a day in front of the box is at risk of dying five years sooner than those who enjoy more active pastimes, it is claimed.
Researchers say that watching too much TV is as dangerous as smoking or being overweight, and that the “ubiquitous sedentary behaviour” should be seen as a “public health problem”.
Experts from the University of Queensland, Australia, write: “TV viewing time may have adverse health consequences that rival those of lack of physical activity, obesity and smoking; every single hour of TV viewed may shorten life by as much as 22 minutes.”

Referring to Australian and American guidelines that suggest children should spend no more than two hours a day in front of a screen, the academics conclude: “With further corroborative evidence, a public health case could be made that adults also need to limit the time spent watching TV.”
Although health campaigners – and parents – have long warned of the dangers of watching too much television, its effects on life expectancy have never before been calculated.

Wait until LG, Samsung, Sony and the other electronics companies bring out their own sponsored reasearch saying that TV viewing is relaxing, health-promoting, and releases good hormones into you system. Scientists work for the highest bidder.

Mtchwwwwwww. Conjured lie

He mentioned time spent on screens... many ppl work on computers ( Laptops, desktops etc), are they not screens? If the theory is correct, it means we're already living our half life.

The world population would have been reduced by more than 10 - 20% by now.

Watching TV cannot and should not be a good causative factor of lifespan reduction. This is because there is a confounding factor which is sedentary lifestyle.
Watching TV is, in itself, not the cause of lifespan reduction but rather its sedentary lifestyle that is the true causative factor.
I bet the statisticians never did multiple regression or Mantel Hatzch analysis to remove the effect of confounders in their result.

Who is to blame? CBS,SHOWCASE,FX,FOX,ABC,AMC,USA Network,SHOWTIME and HBO.

Ȧȴȴ those CIA,FBI,CID,NASA them thats sticks their eye ѳπ PC monitor 24/7,waiting go happen Ţ☹•◦ them?..or Monitor no b TV screem? lol in Swahili

No be still the oyinbo people dey produce the tv.. So if they are trying to make tv sound dengerous,then i think it's their loss,cos the demand will reudce. For them to come out and say this,it really means it's dangerous.. Haven't you noticed how lights from tv sets and phones makes the eyes weak at night...
My guy, we never graduate cos we no wan gree graduate.. Common tiger battery we neva fit make,and you dey say we don graduate.. Until we wake up and stop looking the white man as a superior,we will never graduate,i mean never..
There is only one thing on earth i know of,that can replace those lost 22 minutes..the name is **ok just forget** i dont want what happened to my real username to repeat itself again ....
Btw!! Mods pls un-ban kslib.. I was banned cos i used garri ideology to defend innocent flood victims...

Baba nla nonsense.

All those of you deriding this research work, have you done any serious research to disprove what they're saying? Better be sure of your facts before you comment!

I'm not saying they're right but until evidence to disprove what they've found comes forward it's better to just shut up!
