The results of a recent study: a lot of sleep causes of stroke

The results of a recent study published in the scientific journal Science nerves that people middle-aged and older, including those who sleep more than eight hours a night or more than their sleep periods further increasing their risk of stroke

Yu said Laing of Britain's Cambridge University, told Reuters Health, "may be seen to increase the duration of sleep as an early indicator of an increased risk of stroke. Doctors can think of adding questions about sleep when patients debate and perhaps reveal that for some degree of health conditions of patients or any unforeseen health risks "

Ling said the medical team in their report that several previous studies looked at periods of sleep and the risk of stroke and found that both the short duration and long-both associated with an increased risk of stroke as the Palace periods of sleep linked to erode these risks and associated length increase this risk.

They said that the studies have not yet looking at the relationship between sleep periods and the risk of stroke over a lifetime.

The search for survivors and colleagues examined data from 9692 men and women aged between 42 and 81 years who have made statements for periods of sleep between 1998-2000 and 2002-2004 and monitored the incidence of stroke in March of 2009. During the search, which lasted 9.5 years occurred 346 case ischemic stroke.

The researchers found that for those who slept more than eight hours a risk of stroke index 1.46 As of sleep less than six hours a night is increasing, the risk of stroke have increased by 19 percent.

This increases the cursor to 1.87 for those who are younger with the index reached the maximum score of 3.75 for those who sleep periods vary from short to long.
