Nighttime light linked to signs of faster organ aging
Across nighttime light exposure categories, the strongest link involved protein-based brain aging, with a statistical association estimate of 0.21.Across nighttime light exposure categories, the strongest link involved protein-based brain aging, with a statistical association estimate of 0.21.
