研究发现,早期更年期和心脏病健康状况不佳可能会由于大脑老龄化速度更快而增加痴呆症风险。 Early menopause plus poor heart health may increase dementia risk due to faster brain aging, study finds.

根据在2025年更年期协会会议上提出的多项研究,早期更年期妇女可能由于大脑加速老龄化而面临更高程度的痴呆风险,特别是在结合心脏病健康状况不佳时。 Women who experience early menopause may face a higher risk of dementia due to accelerated brain aging, particularly when combined with poor heart health, according to multiple studies presented at the 2025 Menopause Society meeting. 涉及500多名妇女的研究发现,早期更年期,特别是心脏功能下降的更年期,与较低的灰物质体积、白物质畸形的增加以及认知能力较差有关。 Research involving over 500 women found that early menopause, especially with reduced cardiac function, is linked to lower gray matter volume, increased white matter abnormalities, and poorer cognitive performance. 这些变化与血液流动减少和脑组织损伤减少有关,表明激素变化和心血管健康是痴呆症风险的关键因素。 These changes, tied to reduced blood flow and brain tissue damage, suggest that hormonal shifts and cardiovascular health are critical factors in dementia risk. 专家们强调,需要综合的心脏和大脑健康监测和更具包容性的研究,以指导妇女的预防战略。 Experts stress the need for integrated heart and brain health monitoring and more inclusive research to guide prevention strategies for women.
