Current Research in Light Interventions for Human Health
Presented by: Mariana Figueiro (Mt. Sinai Light and Health Research Center)
Description: Almost every living thing experiences internal biological cycles that repeat daily. Known as circadian rhythms, in humans, these cycles regulate all metabolic, physiological, psychological and behavioral processes (e.g., sleeping and waking, hormone production, body temperature). Research shows the daily pattern of light and dark incident on the retinas
sets the timing for many circadian rhythms, synchronizing our biological clock with the 24-hour solar cycle at our place and time on earth. Asynchrony between our circadian rhythms and local time, however, as may occur between our preferred sleep patterns and work schedules or air travel across several time zones, can lead to social, behavioral and metabolic health problems such as diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease and cancer. Lab and field studies have shown that lighting interventions can help remedy circadian disruption and reduce health risks. Light also has an acute alerting effect on humans. This course discusses these themes in relation to the work on lighting interventions for health among various populations (e.g., Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and multiple myeloma patients as well as rotating shift and office workers) currently being conducted by the Light and Health Research Center at Mount Sinai.
