Regular mobile phone use may be associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, as shown by a published study. Canadian Journal of Cardiology (CJC).
Scientists analysed data from 444,000 Britons who self-reported how often they used their mobile phones between 2006 and 2010. They were followed for about 12 years. Regular mobile phone use (at least one call per week) has been linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, especially in smokers and people with diabetes.
“Poor sleep patterns and poor mental health may negatively impact the development of cardiovascular diseases through disruption of circadian rhythms, endocrine and metabolic disruption, and increased inflammation,” the scientists said.
The study authors also believe that frequent exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation from cell phones may lead to inflammation, which is a risk factor for many diseases.
In the editorial, scientists not involved in the study noted that the recruitment of participants took place at a time before the widespread use of modern smartphones. Phones are no longer used for making calls, but for sending text messages and entertainment. Therefore, new studies should confirm the validity of the research results.
