The researchers found a significant correlation between higher levels of outdoor light pollution and higher rates of Alzheimer’s disease across various regions in the United States. This connection was observed even after accounting for known risk factors, raising concerns about the role of artificial light in neurodegenerative diseases. Alzheimer’s disease, a neurodegenerative disorder t…
