Study finds senior mobility impacted by TV

Posted

Too much TV may cost seniors their mobility.

A new study found excessive sitting after the age of 50 significantly increased the risk of disability and television was the biggest culprit.

People who watched at least 5 hours of TV a day and did little exercise during the week were 3 times more likely to have mobility problems than more active seniors.

If you can't give up your favorite shows, experts suggest  walking in place during the commercials.
