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.
