Study Reveals How Sleeping Habits Impact Brain Health, Raise Stroke Risk

 A New Study Highlights The Link Between Sleep Issues And Higher Stroke Risk




• Study explores the connection between sleep patterns and increased risk of stroke and dementia.

• Research, published in the Journal of the American Heart Association, focuses on brain health measures: Matter hyper intensities (WMH) and fractional anisotropy.

• MH, larger WMH, and lower fractional anisotropy are linked to higher risks of stroke and dementia.

• Santiago Clocchiatti-Tuozzo from Yale emphasizes the need to prevent the processes leading to conditions like stroke and dementia.

• Neuroimaging study with nearly 40,000 middle-aged participants reveals the impact of sleeping habits on brain health.


• Short sleep duration increases the risk of WMH, larger WMH volume, and lower fractional anisotropy.

• Long sleep (over 9 hours) is associated with lower fractional anisotropy and larger WMH volume but not with the risk of WMH presence.

• Findings support the idea that sleep is crucial for brain health and a modifiable risk factor for later-life brain health.

• Middle age is highlighted as a crucial period for adjusting sleep habits to support brain health.

• The study suggests that understanding and modifying sleep patterns may contribute to improving brain health in the future.
