Humera Naqvi, MD @nayab78: hmmm that means we ppl should be dying early taking the amount of tv watched but life expectancy has increased.<\/p>

K Dillon, RDMS,CPC-A @comalliwrites: Confounders & confirmation bias not accounted for...<\/p>

@ShadolooDoll: Misleading. It isn't TV itself, but the lack of activity. A person who is dedicated to exercise can still watch TV, right?<\/p>

Timothy Cook: Great, since I stopped watching TV.  I can start smoking again!  ;-)?<\/p>

Davíð Þórisson: Phew - no mention of watching Youtube! :-)?<\/p>

Jimena Yosara Aguilar Jimenez: I'll never watch tv again?<\/p>

Dimiter Stanev: Does that mean that disabled people suffer from this too??<\/p>
