Kind: research · Impact: low

## In brief

- New research from Michigan State University studied animals that, like people, are active during the day.
- In the study, living under fluorescent office lighting was linked to weaker health markers, according to Medical Xpress.
- The findings come from an animal study, so they do not directly establish effects in humans.

## Why it matters

Office workers spend much of their day under fluorescent lighting, so evidence that this lighting affects health markers in animals is relevant to how workplace lighting is designed and studied.
