研究发现,更年期不会加快患有MS的妇女的残疾程度。 Menopause does not speed up disability in women with MS, study finds.

JAMA Neurlogy公布的一项大规模研究发现,更年期不会增加多发性硬化症妇女的残疾程度,对早先的假设提出了挑战。 A large-scale study published in JAMA Neurology finds that menopause does not increase disability progression in women with multiple sclerosis, challenging earlier assumptions. 研究人员分析980多名在平均14年时间里重覆使用MS的980多名妇女的数据后发现,与年龄有关的MS症状在大约50岁左右恶化可能是由于一般老化,而不是更年期的荷尔蒙变化造成的。 Analyzing data from over 980 women with relapsing-onset MS over an average of 14 years, researchers found that the age-related worsening of MS symptoms around 50 is likely due to general aging, not hormonal changes from menopause. 虽然更年期可能带来疲劳症和记忆问题等重叠症状,但研究报告保证不会加速MS。 While menopause may bring overlapping symptoms like fatigue and memory issues, the study offers reassurance that it does not accelerate MS. 调查结果支持通过改变生活方式和荷尔蒙疗法,在不担心疾病恶化的情况下,对更年期症状进行整体管理。 The findings support holistic management of menopausal symptoms through lifestyle changes and hormone therapy without fear of worsening the disease.
