Women More Prone to Facebook Addiction, Says Study
Hospital Hygiene Drive ‘CleanYourHands’ Saved Thousands of Lives
Women are more likely to become unhealthily hooked to Facebook. This is according to a recent study by some Psychologists from University of Bergen in Norway who designed a chart of symptoms indicating whether someone has an addiction to social networking.
Exactly 423 respondents have been studied for signs of addictive behavior in the way they use and felt about social media, specifically, Facebook.
Results shows that some participants clearly showed signs of “Facebook addiction” which is alarmingly similar to those exhibited by people addicted to drugs, alcohol and other chemical substances.
Younger people were more likely to become dependant on Facebook than older people and among those people, women were found to have greater vulnerability to Facebook addiction than men, the researchers said.
The study also found out that people who suffer from anxiety, social insecurity and other psychological problems were heavier users of Facebook. This is most likely because they find it much better to be using the social channels to air out their sentiments rather than actually communicating with people in person, they added.
Extroverted people were also found to be more likely prone to Facebook addiction, while people who were well organised were less at risk as they use the website merely for work or networking purposes only.
A measure called “Bergen Facebook Addiction Scale”, was designed to find out one’s behavior towards using Facebook. A new list of six criteria for each of which a person is given a score in a scale of 1-5. 1 for “very rarely” and 5 for “very often”.
The categories include one’s urge to use Facebook in an increasing scale, trying and failing to abstain from using the website and feeling uneasy if one cannot access his/her account.
Scoring 4 or 5 on at least four of the given criteria indicates that one might be addicted to Facebook, according to the Psychological Reports journal.

British Female Teenagers Among Heaviest Drinkers, Says WHO
A recent report from the World Health Organization (WHO) shows that British Female Teens are among the heaviest drinkers – most of them believes that they have the right to drink as much as boys.
Interviews with hundreds of thousands of young respondents across Europe and North America reveals that teens from England, Scotland and Wales are among the heaviest drinkers.
WHO’s Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) study also found out that almost 50% of 15-year-old young girls in the said top British countries have been drunk at least twice, while across the other 39 countries, the average was just 29%.
Wales was recorded to be the third worst country for teenage drinking while Scotland and England is on the seventh and eighth spot respectively.
The study also discovered that there is only very slight differences in drinking habits between teenage boys and girls in England, Scotland and Wales.
Countries with more gender equality were among the worse when it comes to female teenage drinking, according to the study’s coordinator, Professor Candace Currie.
“In some aspects of risk taking there’s quite clear gender equalization going in the western countries, whereas there are still quite big gender gaps in drinking and sexual behavior in the east.” says Currie.
Campaigns director for Alcohol Concern, Emily Robinson, said that women believe on “Girl Power”, you could say. But also warned that there’s a big difference between men and women when it comes to alcohol: “Women metabolize alcohol differently.”

Fat Tax Could Save Lives, says Health Promotion Research Group Director
UK: Traffic Polution Kills More People Than Traffic Accidents A Year, Says Study
University of Oxford director Mike Rayner, urges government to tax all unhealthy foods from butter to biscuits.
Fat tax could help save thousands of lives. A fat tax could raise money and encourages people to eat more healthy foods, Rayner says.
The health promotion research group director said that at least 1/4 portion of the British adults are obese and that this drives the government to spend billions of pounds every year on health services.
He called for taxes of fatty foods like soft drinks for 12p, 2 cents bigger than fat tax in France. He claims that it would prevent thousands of death a year as people will now opt to buy healthier drinks.
Labour MP Angela Eagle and Liberal Democrat minister Steve Webb, however, suggested that better packaging and eduction would be more practical than adding tax on fatty foods.
“Taxes were already used to discourage people from drinking or smoking. Fat tax plan would definitely raise money for the Treasury and prevent deaths.” says Mr Rayner.
“There’s evidence to show that manipulating food prices can encourage healthy eating. So why are we so reluctant to change the way we tax food?” Rayner added.
