Owls of the night are more at risk for dementia – not for reasons you might think

The new trial alarm suggests that it may be reckless to be a night owl.

Research has shown that night creatures face an increased risk of diabetes, mental health problems and even premature death.

“The good news is that you can partially influence this cognitive decline by regulating your behavior,” said madness researcher Ana Wenzler of Groningen University.

Dementia-a decrease in the ability to memory, language, reasoning and problem solving-is a growing problem in the US NEWSful Number of American Cravity is projected to be cast from about 514,000 in 2020 to about 1 million in 2060.

High blood pressure, physical inactivity and social isolation are among the factors that increase the risk of dementia.

Wenzler’s team wanted to see if an early or subsequent schedule of waking up played a role in this danger.

About 40% of the global population are those known as “larks”, 30% believed to be the types of evening, and the rest fall somewhere in the middle.

Wenzler analyzed nearly 23,800 sleep survey responses as part of a large Netherlands study, revealing that only 5% of participants were OWLS of night.

“Children are morning people. This changes when you reach puberty, when you become a person in the evening,” noted Wenzler.

“About your 20s, this gradually moves back to the morning people for most people,” she continued. “At the age of 40, most people are again morning people. But this is certainly not the case for everyone. That way, evening people deviate from the norm.”

Armed with everyone’s chronotypes, Wenzler compared the results of the participants’ cognitive function during 10 years.

It determined that moonlight motifs fall cognitive faster than beginners of sunrise.

Reason? Unhealthy behaviors such as smoking, drinking and poor nutrition occur more often in the evening.

“Evening people smoke and drink more often and exercise less,” Wenzler said. “Twenty -five percent of the risk of cognitive decline can be explained by our research by smoking and sleeping poorly.”

This effect was more pronounced in people with higher education.

“This is probably about their sleep rhythm,” Wenzler explained. “They are often people who have to go back to work early in the morning and therefore are more likely to sleep very briefly, giving their brains a little rest.”

Unfortunately, Wenzler said it is difficult to fix your biological clock and related sleep patterns.

“You can try to go to sleep earlier, but if your body is not yet producing melatonin,” she said, “won’t work: your body just doesn’t want to sleep yet.”

She suggests bending in your favorite style of sleep, and if this happens to be midnight madness, try to make healthy lifestyle choices to make up for it.

These findings were recently published in the newspaper of preventing Alzheimer’s disease.

Wenzler plans to further investigate the relationship between the Owls of the night, the fastest cognitive decline in middle age and dementia.

“This will ultimately help us to be able to give people informed tips on how to try to prevent dementia,” she said.
