How to insomnia causes heart attack and stroke?
During the survey, a research group at Peking University headed by doctor of medical Sciences Liminga Whether the identified 3 main symptoms that can indicate an increased risk of developing severe cardiovascular disease in healthy people.
Our results show that if we can identify people who have trouble sleeping, then maybe we can reduce the number of cases of stroke, heart attacks and other diseases. — said lead author Liming Lee.
The study involved 487 200 people with an average age of 51 years. Participants had no history of data on heart attacks, and strokes, as well as other similar diseases. Participants were asked whether they had any symptoms of one or more of the three symptoms of insomnia at least three times a week: trouble falling asleep or waking up too early in the morning, problems concentrating during the day due to the fact that people did not sleep well. A total of 11% of people have experienced difficulty falling asleep or bedtime, 10% reported waking up too early, and 2% had difficulties with concentration during the day. Of all the respondents, about half had all 3 symptoms. Then, all the people watched on average about 10 years.
During this time it was 130 032 cases of stroke, heart attack and other similar diseases. People who had all three symptoms of insomnia were 18% more likely to develop the above diseases than people who have not been identified to any of the manifestations. The researchers took into account other factors that may affect the risk of stroke or cardiovascular disease, including alcohol consumption, Smoking and level of physical activity.
People who had trouble falling asleep or duration of sleep were 9% more likely to develop a stroke or heart attack than people who did not have this problem. The participants of the experiment who awoke too early in the morning and could not go back to sleep were 7% more likely to develop these cardiovascular lesions than people with normal . We hope that you sleeping all right. By the way, a number of studies show that reading before bed is helpful. So you can to fall asleep with health benefits.
The Relationship between insomnia symptoms and these diseases are more pronounced in people who have not had was high blood pressure at the beginning of the study, therefore, future research should be aimed at early identification of such patients at risk. — said If.
Scientists also note that their study does not aim to show a causal relationship between symptoms of insomnia and stroke and heart disease. It is intended to make people more competent to treat their health. And if a certain regularity is, then you should not think that sleep problems can not affect the other organs.
