Watching TV for three hours a day can be deadly – doubling your risk of dying early, warn researchers. 研究人员警示大家：每天看电视三小时是有致命伤害的——让早死的风险提高一倍。 A new study from Spain adds to evidence that time spent in front of the box is potentially life-threatening. 来自西班牙的一项新的研究发现也符合这一论点：看电视的时间是有潜在生命威胁的。 Researchers believe too much sitting – as opposed to insufficient activity – may be a new risk factor for premature death and illness such as diabetes and heart disease. 研究人员认为久坐——和运动不足不同——可能会是早死和诸如糖尿病、心脏病等疾病的风险因素。 Professor Miguel Martinez-Gonzalez, chair of the Department of Public Health at the University of Navarra in Pamplona, who led the study, said ‘Television viewing is a major sedentary behaviour and there is an increasing trend toward all types of sedentary behaviours. 米格尔·马丁内斯－冈萨雷斯教授，现任位于西班牙潘普洛纳市的纳瓦拉大学公共健康学院主席，领导了这项研究。他讲道，“看电视是项主要的久坐行为，且现在各种形式的久坐行为都开始增加了。” ‘Our findings are consistent with a range of previous studies where time spent watching television was linked to mortality.’ |
