Across 30 daily surveys, dynamic structural equation modeling found bidirectional lagged associations: higher-than-usual PSU on a given day predicted higher-than-usual disengagement the next day, and higher-than-usual disengagement predicted higher-than-usual…
Smartphone addiction was positively correlated with poor sleep quality among college students. Perceived stress and health-promoting lifestyle partially mediated this relationship, accounting for 47.51% and 14.83% of the total effect, respectively.
Pre-bedtime smartphone use for five consecutive nights significantly impaired sleep quality by increasing sleepiness, reducing total sleep time, increasing sleep onset latency, and lowering sleep efficiency. Cognitive and physical performance deteriorated, es…
Machine learning models, especially SVM, predicted health symptoms associated with living near mobile phone base stations with high accuracy and AUC values. Key predictors included distance from base station, age, and duration of residence. There is a connect…
Participants with low screen time showed higher working memory accuracy and hit rates, greater prefrontal cortex activation, and stronger functional connectivity compared to high screen time participants. High screen time was associated with reduced working m…
The review discusses that exposure to polarized, coherent microwaves modulated at extremely low frequencies (ELF) in wireless communication EMFs is linked to health risks including cancer, infertility, electro-hypersensitivity, DNA damage, and oxidative stres…
In 16,868 mother-newborn pairs, higher prenatal PM2.5 exposure was negatively associated with BWGA z score (β = -0.06; 95% CrI, -0.10 to -0.03). A critical window was identified in early gestation (weeks 1–5) that persisted only among males; associations also…
In 84,790 participants with ~13 million hours of light sensor data, brighter night light exposure was associated with higher risk of incident type 2 diabetes compared with dark nights (0–50th percentile): 50–70th aHR 1.29 (1.14–1.46), 70–90th aHR 1.39 (1.24–1…
In vitro exposure of boar semen to 5G RF-EMR at 700, 2500, and 3500 MHz significantly increased sperm DNA fragmentation compared to controls, with the highest damage at 2500 and 3500 MHz. Exposure at 3500 MHz also significantly increased sperm membrane damage…
Using field and laboratory experiments (including a solenoid to simulate EMF from high-voltage towers), EMF exposure was associated with physiological stress responses in honeybees (enhanced heat-shock proteins and antioxidant-related gene expression) and alt…
In 212,046 UK Biobank participants without prior hypertension followed for a median of 12.0 years, mobile phone users (≥1 call/week) had a higher risk of new-onset hypertension vs non-users (HR 1.07, 95% CI 1.01–1.12). Among users, higher weekly call time was…
In repeated-measures analyses (2000–2017), increases in interplanetary magnetic field (IMF), planetary K index (Kp), and sunspot number (SSN) averaged from the day of pulmonary function testing through 28 days were associated with significant decrements in FE…
In repeated-measures mixed-effects models, higher continuous Kp (geomagnetic activity) was associated with reduced HRV for exposures up to 24 hours prior to ECG recording. A 75th percentile increase in 15-hour Kp was associated with −14.7 ms r-MSSD (95% CI −2…
Long-term low-intensity 2,100 MHz microwave radiation impaired spatial learning and memory in mice, likely via neuron ultrastructure damage from oxidative stress and inhibition of dendritic spine growth related to decreased Synbindin expression and downstream…
Higher satellite-estimated residential light at night (LAN) exposure was associated with higher thyroid cancer incidence. Compared with the lowest LAN quintile, the highest quintile had increased risk (HR 1.55, 95% CI 1.18-2.02), with a stronger association i…
In vivo, magnet-sensitive switch activation occurred in 30/164 CIED patients (18.3%; 21 pacemaker, 9 ICDs) when an iPhone 12 was placed in close proximity over the CIED pocket with the back of the phone facing the skin. Ex vivo, magnetic interferences occurre…
Male rats exposed to non-thermal levels of cell phone RF radiation showed significantly increased incidences of glioma and schwannoma; no such increases were observed in female rats or mice. Subchronic studies showed no toxicologically significant effects on …
Higher residential ELF-MF exposure was associated with increased risk of B-ALL in children. Adjusted odds ratios increased with higher exposure cutoffs, with significant associations at ≥0.4 μT and above. Exposure as a continuous variable per 0.2 μT increment…
In Cox proportional hazards models adjusted for confounders, offspring of mothers with higher prenatal magnetic field exposure had higher risk of physician-diagnosed ADHD than those with low exposure (aHR 2.01; 95% CI 1.06-3.81). The association was stronger …
Undergraduate participants randomized to watch a 5-minute video about possible health hazards of mobile phone use reported significantly more frequent headache, fatigue, memory loss, and inattention, and a higher level of depression than controls. Memory loss…
