<p>Researchers in Britain have carried out the study and found that a large number of middle-aged women spend most time on social networking sites, like Facebook, Twitter, and suffer from chronic back pain due to hours hunched over computers.<br /><br />The findings are, in fact, based on a poll of 1,000 women, aged between 35 and 50, in Britain.The study revealed three in four women -- 78 per cent -- are in agony because they spend too long sitting at a desk at work or on the net. Of those nearly one in five -- 18 per cent -- endures backache every day.<br /><br />A third admitted they were in pain every few days and nearly a quarter between once a week and once a month. And almost half -- 44 per cent -- could not walk easily. A smaller number -- 15 per cent -- could not go out socially or work.<br /><br />"Back pain can be intense and make life difficult for sufferers, with discomfort badly affecting their home, work and social lives," the 'Daily Express' quoted physiotherapist Sammy Margo as saying.</p>
