Computer gaming makes females gain weight

[Gutenberg]

New study out:

Leisure time computer use and overweight development in young adults – a prospective study

"We have identified a new risk group for overweight development: young adult female computer gamers. Leisure time computer gaming was a prospective risk factor for overweight in women even after adjusting for demographic and lifestyle factors, but not in men. There were no clear prospective associations between computer use for emailing/chatting and overweight in either sex."
