Study Summary

To examine the change in balance that occurs in older individuals when exposed to different colored lights at night.

Primary Outcome

Balance was assessed during a 13-minute nocturnal light exposure (4 different conditions) and differences between the conditions were assessed. To determine goodness of balance while walking, the variability in stride length (i.e., variance in stride-to-stride length) was calculated in each of the conditions. Increased variability in stride length is associated with increased risk of falling.

Interventions

  • BEHAVIORAL White light exposure
  • BEHAVIORAL Dim white light exposure
  • BEHAVIORAL Very dim white light exposure
  • BEHAVIORAL Dim orange light exposure
