Talk about the decisions shed.
While the effects of the party late at night may not be visible in the 20s, a new study from Finland suggests that all that entertainment finally catches you at 36.
Researchers advise that decades between 36 and 46 is a critical time for forming future health, even to highlight three healthy habits to increase the chances of a long and healthy life.
“Decades between 36-46 is important as it marks the bridge for later years of life,” said Dr. Angela Wilson, a gynecologist at Montefiore Einstein Advanced Care in NYC for The Post.
“The risk of various diseases increases, and prevention, early diagnosis and intervention are primary,” added Wilson, who was not involved in new research.
The study followed several hundred children born in the Finnish city of Jyväskylä in 1959 until the early 1960s.
Mental and physical health data were collected when the participants were 27, 36, 42, 50 and 61.
Researchers evaluated their blood pressure, waist size, blood sugar, cholesterol and other fats in the blood while participants answered questions about their psychological well -being.
The study’s authors noticed if they smoked, drank or practiced less than once a week at any time of time. These three habits stimulated mental and physical problems, often felt as much as 36.
“Our findings highlight the importance of treating dangerous health behaviors, such as smoking, severe drinking and physical inactivity, as soon as possible to prevent the damage they do from building over the years, culminating in poor mental and physical health in later life,” said the author of the main study.
The results, recently published in the Annals of Medicine, come amidst a startling increase in heart disease, stroke and some cancers among people under 50.
While researchers are still investigating the exact reasons, certain living factors and environmental exposures are being implicated at these increasing levels.
Obesity, alcohol consumption, smoking and exposure to environmental toxins are among the main culprits.
“When it comes to cardiovascular disease or diabetes, for example, those who seek to reduce their risk usually focus on behavioral factors such as diet and physical activity,” Environmental epidemiologist told The Post.
“Even minor changes in our daily lives-such as improvement of ventilation during cooking or walking instead of driving when possible-can significantly reduce these harmful exposures and therefore reduce cardiovascular risk,” added Yitshak-Sade, an associate professor in the ICAs Department of Environmental Medicine at Mount Mount Sini.
Dr Sanjai Sinha, an intern with Mount Sinai’s Hudson Yards’ practice, said it is important to avoid smoking and drinking and creating good habits about training, diet and sleep – simply not necessarily from 36 to 46.
“I do not agree that there is a magic decade to be healthy, on the contrary earlier the better,” he told the post.
He said it is important to be proactive before hormone levels fall naturally, making the routine change more difficult.
Lower testosterone “can lead to the level of muscle level gradually muscle or energy,” Sinha explained. “Most women are not yet in menopause, but after it occurs (average age: 51), sleep, joint pain, energy, brain fog can all happen.”
Dr. Alice S. Teich – a primary care doctor at Montefiore Medical Group in Westchester – echoed the need to quit smoking, cutting alcohol again and aiming for daily movement and structured weekly exercises.
She noted that it is common enough to feel the cumulative effects of lifestyle choices, such as weight gain, elevated blood pressure, fatigue and rigidity, between 36 and 46.
“Keyelle is not perfection – is taking action,” Teich told the post. “Putting stable, healthy habits during this window can significantly reduce the long -term risk and improve the quality of life.”
