Earlier this year, a separate study suggested the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and heart disease, or dying prematurely, rises by as much as 20 percent after just two hours a day in front of the box.
今年早些時候的一項獨立研究發現，每天坐在電視機前2小時，患II型糖尿病、心臟病或過早死的機率就會上升20%。
England's Chief Medical Officer, Sally Davies, said: "Physical activity offers huge benefits and these studies back what we already know – that a sedentary lifestyle carries additional risks. We hope these studies will help more people realise that there are many ways to get exercise."
