New Delhi, 5 February (IANS). Women who go into late menopause are more healthy, which reduces the risk of heart disease.
Research has found that women have a lower risk of heart attack and stroke in most lifespan compared to men. But after menopause, their risk increases rapidly and exceeds men.
According to this study published in the American Heart Association magazine Circulation Research, women who go to menopause at 55 years or older have a very low chances of heart attack and stroke. This research has been done by scientists from the University of Colorado Boulder, USA. This research can help develop new treatment and dietary suggestions, so that the risk of heart disease in women can be reduced.
According to Sanaa Darwish, the leading researcher of the research, “Our studies have shown that late menopause benefits physically and this is the first research that has tried to understand the reasons behind it.”
Researchers studied the health of 92 women’s blood tubes. He used a process called Braciel Artery Flow-Memed Dilation, which tested how much his main blood tube spreads according to blood flow.
The results showed that the functionality of the blood ducts of women with menopause was quite poor than women who had not yet reached menopause. Scientists explained that after the arrival of menopause, the health of the blood tubes starts to deteriorate rapidly.
However, about 10% of women who go to late menopause are somewhat protected from this effect. Research also found that the functionality of blood ducts in late menopause women was only 24%, while this decline in women who got menopause at a normal age was 51%.
This difference remained even after five years of menopause. Blood ducts in late menopause women were 44% more healthy than normal women.
One reason for this was found that mitochondria in the cells of these women was doing better and making less free radicals. The difference in blood circulation of both groups was also seen. The level of 15 different lipids or fat related metabolites was found “more favorable” in the blood of the late group.
“According to our study, women with late menopause have the ability to protect blood ducts from damage,” said Assistant Research Professor Matthew Rasampan at the Department of Integrative Physiology.
