Love this post. Gaming is my retirement plan! Can't wait to see what it looks like by the time I'm 65.
Hard topic has health is often very much down to the person and other factors in their life. Not to mention genetics.
I've been playing games since I was 5, and interestingly, aside from a few floaters I have 20/20 vision. My optometrist told me that I'm genetically disposed to apparently not be sensitive to screens affecting my vision. Guess I was made to game!
I'll game into my old age. But I'm definitely not keeping up with the higher-performance demands of some games, and I'm certainly not putting in the marathon hours I used to in my teens and 20s.

My thumbs on the other hand... well...
You bring up a good point, there are a host of other personal factors that will determine how games/gaming could affect an individual.
My eyes, unlike yours, took a hit with Gameboy back in the day...

Same!
Although I could never sit still for very long regardless...but yeah, I want to be gaming as long as I can!
"No difference in activity levels between gamers and non-gamers". Say it louder for those in the back!
Great article by the way, that study was fascinating!
