Your Autistic Life FR/EN/ES<p>"This one thing may derail your shot at healthy aging, scientists say"</p><p>Even the LA Times engages in clickbaity headlines.</p><p>The scientist only found a correlation, not causation. The article even states:</p><p>"The study didn’t show that excess TV time **caused** any of the nurses to miss out on healthy aging, only that there was a significant inverse **correlation** between the two. Still, there’s good reason to suspect that their favorite sedentary behavior bore at least some of the responsibility."</p><p>(Emphasis added.)</p><p>The last sentence is just a feeble attempt at justifying their headline.</p><p>Shame on the LA Times (<span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@latimes" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>latimes</span></a></span>).
