[QUOTE="UngainlyTitan, post: 4900498, member: 28487"] Seems to me that very little can be taken from the article as written, for instance it reports that male gamers were found to be more overweight and spent more time on the internet than non gamer males and that female gamers were more depressed and had lower general health than non gamer women. So this begs the question, were gamer males more depressed than non gamer males? I dunno Did gamer males have lower general health than gamer females? I would suspect so but again the article is silent. Do female gamers have more internet usage than non gamer females? I could go on picking the article apart like this some more. It is as if the reporter only picked up some randon fact from a press release and published them. The only piece of information that I got from the article, that I would not have guessed before hand, was that female gamers are more likely to be depressed than non gamer females. One could infer that the same applies to male gamers but if so why quote a distinction. There is simply not enough consistient information to infer any type of causation. [/QUOTE]
