Researchers believe light emitted by the digital screens of smartphones and tablets could be linked to early puberty in boys and girls.
Blue light from cell phones and tablets may be linked to early puberty, warns a scientific study.
A recent study coming out of the University of Genoa reported a significant increase in cases of precocious puberty in girls during the Covid-19 pandemic – almost as much between March 2020 and June 2021 as in the previous four years. Presented at the 61st annual meeting of the European Society of Paediatric Endocrinology , this new research sought to determine whether the blue light to which children are increasingly exposed could lead to precocious puberty.
In particular, the researchers conclude that the longer the rats were exposed to blue light, the earlier their puberty started, and that it also had a negative impact on sperm development and testicular tissue, which was damaged. “I want to emphasise that this is a rat study and direct results cannot be interpreted for humans. However, we provide an experimental foundation to further investigate the health consequences of ever-increasing screen time in modern society,” explains Dr. Aylin Kilinç Uğurlu of Ankara Bilkent City Hospital, in a statement.
