Gamers! Check in for a smile:
Average Video Gamer Is 35, Often Overweight, Sad: Study

http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory?id=8378734

NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - Video games might be regarded as an obsession
for youngsters but in fact the average player is aged 35, often overweight,
introverted and may be depressed, according to a U.S. study.

Researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention looked at
the behavior of 552 adults aged between 19 to 90 from the Seattle-Tacoma area.

They found 249 of these, or around 45 percent, were video-game players,
with men accounting for 56 percent of these.

The researchers found that the men who played video games weighed more and
used the Internet more than other men.
