Too much television may be linked to increased risk of early death
Jun-26-2014

Watching three or more hours of television per day might put you at risk for an early death, according to a new study in the Journal of the American Heart Association.

The study, conducted by researchers at the University of Navarra, in Pamplona, Spain, sought to examine whether spending excess time watching television, being on the computer or driving was linked to an increased risk for early death.

The researchers gathered data on 13,284 healthy university graduates in Spain, with an average age of 37. They followed up with participants every two years, over the span of eight years, and surveyed them on topics including the number of hours they spent driving, watching television and on the computer.

At the end of the study period, 97 participants had died, and the researchers came to some surprising conclusions about the link between these activities and risk for early death.
