A nearly 24-year study of 1,712 adults found that frequent midlife TV watching was associated with smaller brain volumes and more markers of brain damage in men, while desk-based sitting showed fewer brain changes; exercise did not mitigate these effects, and findings highlight gender differences and the importance of what people do while they sit.
A study found that people who spend five or more hours watching TV or videos a day are 48% more likely to experience nocturia, the need to wake up and urinate two or more times a night. The researchers suggest that prolonged TV viewing may lead to neurological disorders, affect sleep quality, and increase fluid intake, all of which could contribute to the risk of experiencing nocturia. However, the study has limitations and cannot prove cause and effect. Healthcare professionals are encouraged to raise public awareness about this potential health risk, but it's important to note that nocturia is common, particularly among older people, and not necessarily a cause for concern.
