Influence of light at night on allergic diseases: a systematic review and meta-analysis

BMC Medicine, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 22(1)

Published: Feb. 14, 2024

Abstract Background Allergic diseases impose a significant global disease burden, however, the influence of light at night exposure on these in humans has not been comprehensively assessed. We aimed to summarize available evidence considering association between and major allergic through systematic review meta-analysis. Methods completed search six databases, two registries, Google Scholar from inception until December 15, 2023, included studies that investigated artificial (ALAN, high vs. low exposure), chronotype (evening morning chronotype), or shift work (night day work) outcomes (asthma, rhinitis, skin allergies). performed inverse-variance random-effects meta-analyses examine exposures (ALAN exposure, chronotype, shiftwork) outcomes. Stratification analyses were conducted by type, participant age, geographical location along with sensitivity assess publication bias. Results 12 publications our review. found was associated higher odds diseases, strongest observed for ALAN (OR: 1.88; 95% CI: 1.04 3.39), followed evening 1.35; 0.98 1.87) 1.33; 1.06 1.67).

Light at night exposure and risk of dementia conversion from mild cognitive impairment in a Northern Italy population

International Journal of Health Geographics, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 23(1)

Published: Nov. 23, 2024

Abstract Background A few studies have suggested that light at night (LAN) exposure, i.e. lighting during hours, may increase dementia risk. We evaluated such association in a cohort of subjects diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Methods recruited study participants between 2008 and 2014 the Cognitive Neurology Clinic Modena Hospital, Northern Italy followed them for conversion to up 2021. collected their residential history we assessed outdoor artificial LAN exposure subjects’ residences using satellite imagery data available from Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) period 2014–2022. relation cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers. used Cox-proportional hazards model compute hazard ratio (HR) 95% confidence interval (CI) according increasing through linear, categorical, non-linear restricted-cubic spline models, adjusting by relevant confounders. Results Out 53 subjects, 34 converted any type 26 Alzheimer’s dementia. Higher levels were positively associated biomarkers tau pathology, as well lower concentrations amyloid β 1−42 baseline. was linear regression (HR 1.04, CI 1.01–1.07 1-unit increase). Using reference lowest tertile, both intermediate highest tertiles showed increased risk (HRs 2.53, 0.99–6.50, 3.61, 1.34–9.74). In analysis, linearly above 30 nW/cm 2 /sr exposure. Adding potential confounders including traffic-related particulate matter, smoking status, chronic diseases, apolipoprotein E status multivariable model, or removing cases onset within first year follow-up did not substantially alter results. Conclusion Our findings suggest conversion, especially /sr, although limited sample size suggests caution interpretation results, be confirmed larger investigations.
