Too Much Screen Time In Your 20s Raises Risk Of Heart Attack

A new study tracking the health of over 4,000 young adults for 30 years warns that excessive screen time in youth may increase the risk of serious heart conditions later in life. The study found that spending a lot of time watching TV in early 20s was linked to higher odds of heart attack in the future. Data from the Coronary Artery Risk and Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study revealed that every additional hour of daily TV time during midlife also raised the odds for coronary heart disease and stroke. The study suggests that screen time habits in young adulthood may influence future habits and impact the risk of developing heart conditions in adulthood. (UPI)
