Poor sleep linked to years of poor cardiovascular health

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, health

Poor sleep could lead to between two and seven years worth of heightened heart disease risk and even premature death, according to a new study led by researchers at the University of Sydney in collaboration with Southern Denmark University.

The study analyzed data from more than 300,000 middle-aged adults from the UK Biobank and found that different disturbances to sleep are associated with different durations of compromised later in life compared to healthy sleepers.

In particular, men with clinical sleep-related breathing disorders lost nearly seven years of cardiovascular disease-free life compared to those without these conditions, and women lost over seven years. Importantly, even general , such as insufficient sleep, insomnia complaints, snoring, going to bed late, and is associated with a loss of around two years of normal heart health in men and women.

Here is the perfect 11-minute rule for a long-lasting healthy life

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, health

Give at least 11 minutes to your body, and it could do wonders for you.

Cambridge University researchers propose that people can reduce their risk of early death from heart disease, cancer, and various other health problems — just by doing 11 minutes of brisk walking or any other moderate-intensity physical activity daily.

This is half the effort that National Health Service (NHS) recommended in the past to lead a long and healthy life. According to NHS, a person between 19 to 64 years of age should spend at least 150 minutes a week (about 21 hours a day) doing moderate-intensity exercise.

Study suggests changes in gambling behavior linked to suicide risk in young adults

Posted by in category: health

An increase in difficulties with gambling is linked to a heightened risk of suicide attempts among young adults, according to new research from the University of Glasgow and City, University of London.

Published in the journal, The Lancet Public Health, the study suggests that over the course of a year, (aged 16–24) who experienced an increase in severity of harm were 2.74 times more likely to attempt than those whose gambling was unchanged.

Gambling behavior is dynamic, and the study found that any escalation in the experience of gambling harm, regardless of someone’s starting point, was linked to a heightened risk of suicidality.
