Toasted to a respectable shade. No regrets, no crumbs left.
Summary
A study with over 88,000 participants in the UK tracked personal light exposure to assess its impact on cardiovascular diseases. Bright night light exposure was associated with higher risks of coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, and stroke, independent of established risk factors. The relationships were stronger for women and younger individuals in the cohort.
