A team from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also found gamers were less healthy, fatter, and more depressed than non-gamers.

Researchers from the government agency analysed data from 500 adults aged 19 to 90 in the Seattle-Tacoma area of Washington state.

More than 45% of those surveyed reported playing video games.

The team chose the Seattle-Tacoma area because its internet usage level is the highest within the US and it is one of the larger markets for media.

A UK survey from 2002, conducted by the Leisure Software Publishers Association, found the average gamer was aged between 25 and 34.

But it also suggested that the average age of the keenest players is gradually edging upwards, a finding reinforced by the CDC finding.

The team from CDC examined people’s perception of their mood, personality, health status, physical and mental health, body mass index (BMI) and quality of life.

Female video-game players reported greater depression and lower health status than female non-players, while male gamers reported a higher BMI and a greater reliance on the internet than non-gamers.

CDC’s Dr James B Weaver said the results were not that surprising.

“Health risk factors, specifically a higher BMI and a larger number of poor mental-health days, differentiated adult video game players from non-gamers,” he said.

“Video game players also reported lower extraversion, consistent with research on adolescents that linked video-game playing to a sedentary lifestyle and overweight status.”

The same will be true for Women if the question of what a Woman really wants is posed to Women of a generation or a few generations apart. In the olden days, Women are know to warn their young daughters to be wary of men showing them too much interest, they tend to round off such talks with something along the line of “there is only one thing a Man wants from you” referring to men just wanting to bed a girl.

Though things has moved on a bit, mother are more likely to warn their daughters to use condom when having sex rather than ask them not to have sex at all. This bring us back to the question of what a man rally wants. Perhaps the answer to this question will depend on the generation of men the question is aimed at. Men of a few generation ago probably just want to have sex but things seem to be very different now.

A survey by Playstation comparison site PS3 price compare which post the question now online “what do men of now a days really want” seem to end up with an answer similar to “we just want to be left a lone to play with our video games”.  PS3 Compare concluded that 72% of men prefer computer games to having sex. I think its now completely safe for mothers of young ladies to review that age old saying that “only thing a man want from you is sex” because that is not longer the case judging from the result of PS3 Compare survey.
