Adults who spend five or more hours a day watching TV and/or videos are more likely to develop nocturia (the need to urinate several times throughout the night). This has been shown by a study published in the journal. Neurourology and Urodynamics.
The analysis used data from 13,294 U.S. residents from the 2011-2016 NHANES survey. They were all over 20 years old.
31.86% reported nocturia. Nighttime urination was 48% higher in participants who watched five or more hours of TV and/or videos per day (compared to those who watched less than an hour per day).
The authors of the new study believe that limiting the time spent watching videos may reduce the frequency of nocturia attacks. Future research may prove this hypothesis.
Another study before this showedthat nocturia not only causes discomfort but can also be life-threatening. Scientists analyzed data from 1,136 patients aged 50 and older with overactive bladder syndrome. Older adults who urinate frequently at night (three or more times a night) are three times more likely to develop a fracture.
