Dementia increases risk of seeing more TV at this age: Study

If your age is more than 50 and you are fond of watching TV, be careful, because this habit can make you a victim of dementia.

A report of a recently conducted study states that people over 50 years of age who watch TV over three and a half hours a day, have a greater risk of weakening their memory. This study has been done on more than 3,600 people. According to the study, the ability to memorize words by watching more television serial, documentary and reality shows is less than 10 percent.

Researchers claim that stress increases due to excessive interest in your favorite shows, which makes memory less vulnerable. Apart from this, sitting ahead of TV for hours, people get away from physical activity, due to which they start getting sluggish.

This study was done by Dr. Daisy Fencourt, Associate Professor of Department of Behavioral Science and Health, London University of Studies University. According to the study's report, watching TV over the age of 50 increases the risk of dementia.

In order to know about the dangers of dementia by watching TV, researchers examined about 3,600 people with more than 50 years of age. All the people involved in the study were asked how many hours they watched TV in one day from 2008 to 2009 and 2014 to 2015.

This study has been published in the Scientific Journal. Studies have revealed that memory of those who watch more than 3.5 hours of TV in a day is starting to weaken within 6 years.

At the same time, Dr. Bob Petton, Professor of Clinical Psychology at University of Surrey, claims that changes in the brain structures of people's brain changes by watching TV. Especially those things are important to remember.

However, he also told that it has not been clear whether a program influences the minds of the people or not. Dr. Fencourt pointed out, however, watching TV shows a lot of things and a less stressful person. But, on the basis of the study, it can be said that people over 50 years have a bad effect on the mind. Therefore these people should balance in TV and other physical activity.
