A new study published in the Canadian Journal of Cardiology has found that regular mobile phone use may increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases, including stroke and heart failure.Â
The research indicated that the more time individuals spend on phone calls, the higher their risk.
For example, spending over six hours a week on the phone is linked to a 21% increase in cardiovascular risk.
The study also highlighted that factors such as sleep quality, psychological distress, and neuroticism may influence this connection.
Smokers and individuals with diabetes are particularly vulnerable to these risks.
Experts cautioned that the study is observational, meaning it cannot establish a direct cause-and-effect relationship.
However, they emphasized that the findings point to a possible link between frequent phone use and heart health concerns.
