The researchers found that if the duration of gameplay increased from 2 hours to three hours per day, the risk of developing the metabolic syndrome increased by 100%. The study reported that the metabolic syndrome occurs in 7.6% of the general population but that rate increases to 30% when the sample is consisted of video game players is analyzed.

When you say computer addiction, I am going to assume you are talking about video game addiction, not pornography addiction.

This means each study that is done on video game addiction uses different criteria to define what video game addiction is.
