Spending to much time in front of a TV or a computer screen can increase the risk of heart disease and premature death. Data shows that people who spend less then 2 hours a day looking a t a screen and those who use more then 4 hours are likely to have a major cardiac event that involves hospitalization, death or both. Those spending less than two hours a day staring at a screen, there was a 48% increased risk of death in those spending four or more hours a day. Data shows that one fourth of the organization between screen time and cardiovascular events was explained collectively by C-reactive protein, body mass index, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol suggesting that irritation and of lipids may be one pathway through which extended sitting increases the risk for cardiovascular events. CRP, a well-established marker of low-grade irritation, was two times higher in people spending more than four hours of screen time per day compared to those spending less than two hours a day. A present study showed that 4,512 adults who were affected. From a survey a total of 325 all-cause deaths and 215 cardiac events occurred during an average of 4.3 years of follow up.
