MUMBAI: Scientists have warned that watching too much televisionwill shorten life span by 4.8 years. The researchers from University of Queensland have said that every time an individual spends at least one hour in front of the television set, their life expectancy reduces by 22 minutes. The study which is to be published in British Journal of Sports Medicine is based on the data from the National Bureau of Statistics and the Australian Diabetes, Obesity and Lifestyle Study. It is based on an average six hours viewing per day, compared to a person who watches no television.
