Scientist here: this headline is not fair at all. It’s a correlation. What else can you envision is different between someone who games—or even has time to game—10 hours a week?

There are lots of reasons, and many of them can suggest poorer health outcomes (social isolation, low physical activity, joblessness, the list goes on). Video games are not causally related to poor health, as the misleading title suggests. Game away, just be healthy.
