In April a commenary in the Internation Journal of Epidemiology, the more bored you are the more likely you will die earlier. however, the state of boredom alone isn't waht will kill you; it's everything else it leads to like self-medication through drinking and drugs, smoking or even leading to psychological problems. In the study, it was reported that the people who were surveyed as bored with their jobs in 1985-1988 were two and a half times more likely to die of a heart problem. But, with an adjustment was made when the reserachers factored in physical activity and employment grade, which lowered the results. Even thought he research is preliminary, other scientists say that there is a link between boredom and increased heart problems. they say that someone who is bored is less motivated to exercise, eat well and live an overall healthy lifestyle.
I think that this may be true because if you're bored or uninterested, you'll engage in something, no matter what it is, for the sake of just doing something different or just doing something at all. I think that it makes a connection between those who consume large about of alcohol and suffer from drug abuse, because many people do it because it's "fun" or they're "bored and have nothing else to do, so why not?"
