Nighttime light flooding American communities may increase Alzheimer’s disease risk, particularly for people under 65, according to research analyzing Medicare data and NASA satellite measurements. Scientists at Rush University Medical Center tracked Alzheimer’s prevalence across US states and counties from 2012 to 2018, comparing disease rates with outdoor light intensity captured by satellites. States with…
Chronic kidney disease quietly claimed ninth place among the world’s deadliest conditions for the first time in 2021.
