I don't think they try to draw causal nexus in this study (which is fine, it's not in the scope of a study like this to explain everything).

There are many potentially sound hypotheses one could make e.g. people who live near lots of artificial lights also likely live in urban centers and might work longer and thus have less time to exercise or eat healthy.

Also could be poorer, etc.
