Men who watch more than four hours of TV a day significantly increase their risk of developing bowel cancer, researchers have found.

研究人员发现，男性每天看电视超过4小时，患肠癌的风险明显增加。

Experts tracked 500,000 British people for six years - and found a significant link between sedentary behavior and bowel cancer risk.

专家们对50万名英国人进行了6年的追踪研究，发现了久坐行为与肠癌风险之间存在的重要联系。

But the strongest risk was found among men, particularly those who watched lots of television.

而患病风险最大的是男性，尤其是那些经常看电视的男性。

The scientists, from the University of Oxford, Imperial College London and the UN International Agency for Research on Cancer, found men who sat in front of the television for more than four hours a day were 35 percent more likely to develop bowel cancer.

牛津大学、帝国理工学院和联合国国际癌症研究中心的科学家们发现，男性每天坐着看4小时电视，其患肠癌的可能性要增加35%。

For women the increased risk of television watching was just 11 percent - but when they examined the figures they found this was not statistically significant.

长期看电视的女性患肠癌的风险只增加11%，但科学家们对该数据进行检测后发现并没有统计学意义。
