“…However, this effect was related to the time of the day and not specifically to condition daylight or electric light. Self-reported vitality could also be improved after an intervention of 17000 K lighting 35,37 . In addition, Mills et al 37 showed an effect of bright light (17000 K lighting) on fatigue and light headedness, measured by the Columbia Jet Lag Scale.…”

“…Ten different measures for mental health were used to investigate this health outcome (see Table 4 and Figure 3). Concentration, memory, "social functioning" and "mental health" are three aspects Mills et al 37 investigated using rating scales and the SF-36 questionnaire 52 . Exposure to lighting with a CCT of 17000 K led to beneficial aspects in concentration and mental health compared to the baseline situation with a CCT of 2900 K. 37 The correlation between memory and the CCT intervention was not significant.…”

Purpose The International Commission on Illumination (CIE) recommends researchers to investigate a wide variety of behavioural and health outcomes. However, researchers often investigate only a part of occupational health (OH) in relation to light. A literature study (2002–2017) regarding the relationship between office lighting conditions and OH was performed to identify gaps and methodological issues. Method The OH outcomes investigated in this paper were grouped according to the International Classification of Diseases and analysed per category: physical and physiological health, mental health, eye health, sleep parameters and visual comfort. Results Findings from the literature study (20 eligible papers) showed that all OH aspects were mostly but not exclusively measured subjectively. Furthermore, most studies investigated only a fraction of office lighting parameters and OH aspects. Conclusions It seems that Correlated Colour Temperature (CCT) and illuminance mainly correlate with OH. However, this may also be explained by gaps and methodological issues in studies described in eligible papers. Based on the literature study, an overview was composed elucidating gaps and methodological issues of office lighting and OH studies. It can be used to design and target the purpose of light and health research.

Aims: Alongside the increasing prevalence of chronic health conditions such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes, has been an increase in interventions to reverse these ill-health trends. The aim of this study was to examine the longitudinal impact of the Sheffield Hallam University Staff Wellness Service on health indicators over a five year period. Methods:The Sheffield Hallam Staff Wellness Service was advertised to university employees. Of 2561 employees who have attended the service, 427 respondents (male = 162, female = 265) aged 49.86 ± 12.26 years attended for five years (4 years follow up). Each year, participants were assessed on a range of health measures (i.e. cardio-respiratory fitness, body mass index, blood pressure, total cholesterol, high density lipoproteins, lung function and percentage body fat). Participants also received lifestyle advice (based on motivational interviewing) as part of the intervention to either improve, or in some cases maintain, their current health behaviours (e.g. increased physical activity and diet change). Results:The wellness service improved staff health for those with an 'at risk' health profile from baseline. These improvements were maintained in subsequent follow-up assessments. Improvement from baseline to year 1 follow up was observed for all health indicators as was the maintenance of this improvement in years 2, 3 and 4. Conclusions:The service demonstrates that a university-based wellness service using a combination of motivational interviewing and health screening to elicit behaviour change (and subsequent improvements in health-related outcomes) was successful in improving the health of employees with an 'at risk' profile.
