You are 30% more likely to develop dementia if it looks like you like you

According to the new research that followed nearly 8,000 people over a period of 25 years, from 50 years, those who slept less than six hours or less one night are 30% more likely to develop dementia later in the life, in their 70s.

"A short period of persistent at 50, 60 and 70 compared to a persistent normal sleep period was also associated with a risk of increased dementia of 30% independently of socio-demographic, behavioral, cardiometabolic and mental health factors", concluded the study. "These results suggest that the short half-life sleep is associated with an increased risk of dementia of late appearance."

The researchers noted that, unlike some previous studies, they have not found a solid evidence to support the assumption that a long time of sleep - more than nine hours - is associated with dementia.

The researchers hope that their conclusions will motivate public health providers to promote healthy sleep habits. "Encourage good sleep hygiene can be particularly important for people at a higher risk of dementia," he wrote.

"The study found a modest pattern, but I would say a somewhat important association of the risk of sleep and short dementia," said Pamela Fightsey, Associate Professor of Epidemiology and Community Health at the University of Minnesota, who was not involved in research, told theNew York Times. "Short sleep is very common and because of this, even if it is modestly associated with the risk of dementia, it can be important at a level of society. Short Sleep is something we have control, something that you can change."
