The majority of hardcore gamers have been found to be women, who are reportedly much healthier than their non-gaming counterparts.
A study by University of Delaware shows that the online multiplayer videogames have led to a significant increase in the number of female players who consider the game a social activity.
The study found that contrary to existing stereotypes, about 40 percent of the gaming population is female. Women were also found to be the most dedicated players.
According to the study, female players particularly those playing massively multiplayer online games (MMOs) reject traditional gender roles.
Men and women play computer games for different reasons. Findings revealed that men more commonly play to win, whereas women seek social reasons.
Scientists believe videogames can help improve health conditions as they lower the amount of time an individual spends in front of the television. It also influences the life of gamers by prompting them to adopt a more active lifestyle.
