Association of time spent in outdoor light and genetic risk with the incidence of depression
Descripción general
Resumen del artículo
This study found a non-linear relationship between time spent in outdoor light and depression risk, with an average of 1.5 hours per day associated with the lowest risk. Genetic predisposition to depression increased risk, but this could be mitigated by spending the optimal amount of time outdoors. The study was limited to white participants in the UK Biobank.
