Middle-aged woman with neurotic personality styles and prolonged stress may have a higher risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. Similarly, a study released in the journal Neurology recently.
Swedish scientists examined 800 randomly selected women for nearly four decades. They found that people who are most anxious, jealous, and changing attitudes (moody) categorized as neurotic or nervous breakdown and long experienced stress had twice the risk of developing Alzheimer's than women who have few properties that.
"No other studies have shown that (one of) the personality of middle-aged women increases the risk of Alzheimer's disease for nearly 40 years," said study author from the University of Gothenburg, Lena Johansson.
The most common type of brain disease (dementia), Alzheimer's disease, causing profound memory loss or dementia and language impairment, focus, assessment, and visual perception, according to the Alzheimer's Association. Approximately 5.2 million Americans are diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, which is progressive and incurable and fatal.
Lena Johansson believes these findings also apply to men. However, the data are taken from research studies since 1960 only includes women.
In this study, the participants were women with an average age of 46 years. They were randomly selected for 38 years and given memory tests and personality tests to measure their levels of neuroticism and extraversion and introversion.
Authors of the study defines neuroticism as easily distressed properties and shows personality traits such as anxiety, jealousy, or moody's. People with this personality are more likely to express guilt, anger, jealousy, worry, and depression.
"We know genetics encourage personality and the disease itself, but very little understanding of how personality to bring the disease. We need more data," said Dean Hartley, director of science initiatives for the Alzheimer's Association.
