Cell phones are once more singled out. The effect of blue screens and the addiction they can create no longer needs to be demonstrated. Today, phones are placed more in front of the eyes than glued to the ears. The fact remains that calls remain a feature that is still heavily used on a daily basis. Today, scientific data report the long-term dangers of exposure to mobile phones for 30 minutes a week.
In the European Heart Journal, the researchers are adamant. Spending more than half an hour on the phone per week increases the risk of high blood pressure. The consequences of this hypertension can be serious since it can be the cause of heart attack or stroke.
Up to 25% increased risk of hypertension
Faced with this exposure, the risk of hypertension is increased on average by 12%. These are the conclusions of a vast study carried out over 12 years on more than 212,000 people. These individuals, showing no anomaly in terms of voltage, scrupulously reported on a grid the use they made of their telephone.
At the end of the experiment, regular users of the telephone had 7% more to present hypertension compared to people who did not have a smartphone. This data increases as call duration increases. 8% for weekly calls from 10 to 59 minutes. 13% for communications between 1 and 3 hours. 16% for 4 to 6 hours of call. And even up to 25% more risk for use exceeding 6 hours per week.
To explain the effect of mobile telephony on hypertension, we must turn to the radio frequencies emitted. One of the researchers felt “that it seems prudent to keep mobile phone calls to a minimum to preserve heart health.” This is advice best taken seriously.
