Abstract
- The article describes a meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies to investigate whether television (TV) viewing is associated with risk of type 2 diabetes, cadiovascular disease, and all-cause mortality. The meta-analysis examined studies published in MEDLINE and EMBASE databases. Prolonged TV viewing is considered to be the most common and pervasive sedentary behavior among people in industrialized countries. The meta-analysis concluded that prolonged TV viewing is linked to risk for cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and all-cause mortality.
