Implication

Prospective cohort study reveals independent and combined effects of air pollution and nighttime light on diabetes, highlighting the role of greenness.

Key Points

  • Higher nighttime light exposure is associated with an increased risk of diabetes among older adults.
  • Participants exposed to the highest levels of PM2.5 had a 46% increased risk of developing diabetes.
  • Cox proportional hazards models assessed risk factors, revealing the protective influence of greenness on diabetes risk.
  • The findings emphasize the need for strategies targeting air quality and light pollution to mitigate diabetes risk.
