A new study has found that people who watch TV for three or more hours a day are twice as likely to die prematurely than people who watch little or no TV. As part of an ongoing study, researchers followed Spanish volunteers for eight years to observe their TV watching habits. “Participants reporting three or more hours a day of television viewing had a twofold higher risk of mortality than those reporting less than one hour a day,” Martinez-Gonzalez and colleagues wrote in the Journal of the American Heart Association.
