Early onset of periods doubles the risk of diabetes and obesity! What does new research say?:

News Topical, Digital Desk : Girls who start menstruating before the age of 11 or women who become mothers before the age of 21 have almost double the risk of type 2 diabetes, heart failure and obesity. Along with this, the risk of serious digestive diseases increases up to four times.

This is not a belief or guess but a recent study has revealed such shocking facts. Researchers at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging in America have revealed this. The research also states that if children are born late, lifespan can be increased and the risk of many diseases can also be reduced. These include diseases like type 2 diabetes and Alzheimer's.

The risk of many diseases increases

Regarding this, researcher Professor Pankaj Kapahi said that we have shown that the genes (genetic factors) that promote early reproduction have to pay a heavy price later. These include rapid ageing and the risk of many diseases. He said that this research can have a huge impact on public health because all these risk factors, whether positive or negative, have a direct impact on age-related diseases.

Research has been published in e-Life Journal

Let us tell you that this research has been published in the journal e-Life. In this, about two lakh women were surveyed. Also, 126 such gene markers (genetic markers) were identified which affect the effect of early fertility and delivery on age.

The risk of metabolic disease increases

Professor Kapahi said that early reproduction increases the risk of high BMI (Body Mass Index) and this also increases the risk of metabolic diseases. He also said that if one thinks that the body's ability to absorb more nutrients will be good for children, then it is correct.

Make changes in your lifestyle

But if these nutrients are already in abundance, then this ability can increase the risk of obesity and diabetes in the future. Finally, he also added that lifestyle changes, periodic metabolic tests and proper diet can help women in maintaining good health for a long time.
