“Researchers concluded based on the data of over 60K women in the 2013 and 2017 waves of the Nurse’s Health Study that women with MS were more prone than those who haven’t it, report sleep disorders like insomnia, sleep apnea, and sleepiness.”

While thought retardation can be a general symptom of multiple sclerosis in women, new research suggests sleep, or lack of it, could make the condition worse.

Researchers concluded based on the data of over 60K women in the 2013 and 2017 waves of the Nurse’s Health Study that women with MS were more prone than those who haven’t, report sleep disorders like insomnia, sleep apnea, and sleepiness.

Dr. Tiffany Braley, Director of the Multiple Sclerosis/Neuroimmunology Division and the MS Fatigue and Sleep Clinic at the University of Michigan Health, explained, “Sleep disorders have gained substantial recognition for their role in cognitive [thinking] decline, which affects up to 70% of people with multiple sclerosis.

Dr. Braley extended his words, “Our results highlighted important pathways between sleep and perceptions of cognitive function in women with MS. We have previously identified important associations between objective cognitive performance and sleep in people with MS, but little is known about how sleep and MS interact together to impact long-term cognitive outcomes, particularly among women who are less likely to be diagnosed with sleep disorders.”

Sleep Apnea and Insomnia, and in 2013 contributed to thinking problems in women having MS in 2017 including memory and ability to follow instructions and conversations.

The study revealed sleep apnea-like sleep disorder hails for 34% of the total impact between MS and the ability to follow instructions.

Galit Levi Dunietz, an associate professor in the Department of Neurology’s Division of Sleep Medicine at Michigan Medicine, “With this longitudinal study design, we are able to better estimate the burden of sleep disorders among nurses, compared to health care claims data of similar size, which include diagnosed people with sleep disorders,”.

According to new Health Study Reports, the Phthalates may Cause Diabetes in Women. Read and know in detail here.

“Phthalates are at the top of the exceptionally harmful list, chemicals added to many plastics in order to make them flexible. These chemicals have been part of many health concerns, including obesity, endocrine disruption, reproductive issues, and allergies.”

Plastic is a ubiquitous material and has applications almost everywhere. It helps pack our clothes, food and drink, and uses in the packaging of our personal care products.

They are even used in the packaging of drinking water bottles and the air we breathe in the form of microplastics.

While plastic may have multiple uses, increasing scientific evidence suggests that some plastic components may be harmful to the health of humans.

Insulin is the most likely hormone that can get affected by phthalates. Insulin is a hormone that controls glucose levels in the blood and makes carbohydrate available to cells.

A health study in adolescents says there are chances of insulin resistance with increased urinary phthalate levels, which is often a source to type 2 diabetes.

There were similar observations in another study done in older adults which showed that exposure to diethyl hexyl phthalates (DEHP), one particular group of phthalates, caused increased oxidative stress and insulin resistance.

Now, The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism longitudinal study has found that women with exposure to high levels of phthalates have increased risk of developing diabetes up to 63%.

Dr Ishita Prakash Patel, board-certified endocrinologist, at Texas Diabetes and Endocrinology, said, “The study subjects were chosen from a larger longitudinal study of midlife women to evaluate an association between phthalates in the urine and [the] development of diabetes. The study found an association between higher levels of certain phthalates and development of diabetes in white women, but not the other races studied — Black and Asian.”
