Japanese scientists said: the elderly prone to heart disease lack of sleep

Japanese scientists latest research shows that if older people sleep every night for less than 7.5 hours, the highest probability of a heart attack increased by 3 times.
The study results were published in the latest issue of "within the scientific literature," the journal.

Sleep less

British "Daily Mail" reported on the 11th of the sleep time and the probability of a heart attack between the results of the study.

Japan's Self-Governing Medical University, Dr. Kazuo Eguchi (transliteration) and his colleagues on the 1255 33-year-old to 97-year-old participants conducted a 23-month follow-up investigation. Participants are suffering from high blood pressure, the average age of about 70 years old.

All participants, there are 1007 people per night more than 7.5 hours of sleep time, while others will be less than 7.5 hours. The survey found, the latter a heart attack and stroke more than 27 percent probability of the former.

The risk of large

The researchers found that those blood pressure will increase in the elderly at night, if the lack of sleep are at greater risk of these two factors more easily induced heart disease. The survey found both at the same time, the situation of elderly heart attack, stroke or sudden death due to arrhythmia and the probability is adequate sleep 4 times the elderly.

But at the same time, the situation of the elderly in two small number of participants in the survey in more than a thousand people, only 20 were in line with these conditions. "These people are relatively good identification, but also can be tracked more closely."

Kazuo Eguchi, who said that the test participants in the majority of the elderly, the findings may not apply to young people.

University of Warwick similar survey also found that lack of sleep five hours a day the people were killed than others high probability of 70 percent, died of a heart attack is a high probability of 2 times. However, they also pointed out that sleep time is not necessarily a good thing, there may be dangerous.

Troublesome

Jiangkou Kazuo published in the article wrote: "by the impact of changes in the way of life in modern society in which people sleep less and less."

"Reasonable continuous sleep is very important to people. In modern society, people often wake up suddenly at night or sleep shortage. Redoubled this phenomenon affect people's health, including the possibility of leading to cardiovascular disease."

A survey shows that the British night time is about an average of seven hours of sleep, but one-third of people every night of sleep time is not more than five hours.

Early results showed that lack of sleep cause weight gain, high blood pressure and diabetes onset of important factors. Childhood caused by lack of sleep is one of the reasons for becoming obese adults.
