Study Links Nighttime Light Pollution to Increased Alzheimer’s Risk

Researchers find a strong correlation between artificial light exposure at night and higher rates of Alzheimer's, particularly in younger populations.

High nighttime light pollution is associated with increased Alzheimer's disease prevalence.
The correlation is especially strong in individuals under 65 years old.
Light pollution poses a greater Alzheimer's risk than several other health conditions.
Mitigating light exposure with blackout curtains and blue light filters may help reduce risk.
Further research is needed to understand the full impact of light pollution on Alzheimer's.
