A greater number of nighttime hot flashes was associated with an increased likelihood of the disease, the study found.
Hot flashes during the night may be more than a midlife annoyance for women. They could also be an early indicator of Alzheimer’s disease, according to new research released Wednesday.Hot flashes experienced during sleep may be a marker of women at risk of Alzheimer’s disease, according to research presented at the annual meeting of the Menopause Society in Philadelphia. A greater number of nighttime hot flashes was associated with an increased likelihood of the disease, the research found.
“Given the adverse effect on quality of life and financial burden of [Alzheimer’s disease], it’s important that we learn as much as possible about potential causes and warning signs so we can be proactive before the onset of [the disease],” said Stephanie Faubion, medical director of the Menopause Society.
Thurston also said it’s important that women in midlife check in periodically with their healthcare provider to make sure that their blood pressure, lipids and glucose levels are within normal ranges. “Midlife is a time of rapid change in many of these standard cardiovascular-disease risk factors. These changes may also have implications for the brain,” she said.
