LIGHT AT NIGHT X CVD

 A

Here’s a concise bullet-point gist of that topic:

  • Topic: Exposure to light at night (LAN) and cardiovascular disease (CVD).

  • Finding: Higher levels of nighttime light exposure are associated with an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease.

  • Mechanism (suggested):

    • Disruption of circadian rhythms.

    • Impaired sleep quality.

    • Hormonal imbalances (e.g., melatonin suppression).

    • Potential increase in blood pressure, inflammation, and metabolic stress.

  • Implication: Limiting artificial light at night, especially bright or blue light, may help reduce cardiovascular risk.

  • Public Health Note: Urban environments with high light pollution may contribute to increased CVD incidence.

If you want, I can also make a super-condensed one-liner version perfect for quick recall. Do you want me to do that?
