New study suggests that limiting TV time to one hour reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease, but also has interference in diabetes.
How can you see television influence our risk of developing cardiovascular disease? It’s all about physical inactivity.
“Type 2 diabetes and a sedentary lifestyle, including the prolonged permanence in the sitting positionare important risk factors for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Watch television, which represents more than half of the sedentary behavior Daily, it is consistently associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes and atherosclerosis. ”
Thus explain the authors of this week in Journal of the American Heart Association.
The investigation is. The first to relate television viewing to diabetes development, and the conclusion was that seeing two or more hours of television adds the risk of heart disease and blood vessels.
People with a High genetic risco of type 2 diabetes They are more likely to develop cardiovascular disease. But reducing television time to a daily hour can reduce this risk.
The investigation studied 346,916 UK adults, an average age of 56, and used the statistical method of the polygenic risk score to draw the conclusions.
As the researchers reported that “the absolute risk to 10 years, or probability of developing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease was lower (2.13%) For people with high genetic risk of type 2 diabetes combined with one hour or less of daily television viewing.
Scientists summarize: “We find that people with high genetic risk of type 2 diabetes may have lower likely to develop atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, limiting television viewing to one hour or less a day.”
Therefore, “Seeing less television can be a fundamental behavioral objective for prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases associated with genetics of type 2 diabetes.
The aim of the authors is to warn of the adoption of healthier behaviors, that is, “future actions to prevent disease and improve health by reducing time in front of television and promoting other healthy lifestyle changes.”
