Lack of Sleep Linked to Increased Risk of Heart Disease in Middle-Aged Women
New research suggests that middle-aged women who experience ongoing insomnia or get little sleep each night may be at a greater risk for heart disease. A study found that persistent insomnia is associated with a significantly elevated risk of cardiovascular disease in midlife women. Even after accounting for various risk factors, the increased risk remained significant. Therefore, considering sleep patterns and making necessary behavioral changes to improve sleep quality is crucial for reducing heart disease risk in middle-aged women.
