The study found that exposure to outdoor light at night correlates with a higher prevalence of Alzheimer's disease, particularly impacting individuals under the age of 65.
Despite legislation in 19 states aimed at curbing light pollution, nighttime light exposure remains high across many areas, contributing to ecological and health issues.
Researchers noted that while diabetes and hypertension are more closely tied to Alzheimer's, nighttime light exposure showed a stronger connection than several other significant risk factors.
Younger people, particularly those under 65, may be especially vulnerable to the detrimental effects of nighttime light exposure, suggesting a critical area for further research.
