A New Study Confirms a Realistic Association Between Cellphone Use and Cardiovascular Disease

Heart disease may be more likely to happen if you use your phone too much.

 

A new study finds that people who use their phones a lot are more likely to have a stroke, coronary heart disease, atrial fibrillation, or heart failure.

 

About 450,000 people who logged their cell phone time between 2006 and 2010 took part in the study. Researchers looked at people for more than ten years and found that regular phone users were much more likely to get heart disease. And the risk went up the more minutes they logged each week, especially for people who already smoked or had diabetes.

 

One author says that poor sleep patterns and mental health problems linked to cellphone use may play a part. They say, "A poor sleep pattern and poor mental health may adversely affect the development of cardiovascular diseases through disrupted circadian rhythm, endocrine and metabolic disruption, and increased inflammation."

 

She also says that "chronic exposure to RF-EMF radiation emitted from cell phones could cause oxidative stress and an inflammatory response."

 

Although more study needs to be done, the author of an accompanying editorial recommends that instead of spending hours scrolling, people should do more heart-healthy activities
