Study links insomnia to higher stroke and hospitalization risks

https://www.news-medical.net/news/20260928/Study-links-insomnia-to-higher-stroke-and-hospitalization-risks.aspx Insomnia is associated with a 26% higher risk of stroke and 28% higher odds of hospital admission, according to new research in Sleep Medicine Reviews. The researchers say the findings support recognizing insomnia as an important marker of brain, mental and general health. The review, funded by the European Academy of Neurology (EAN), brings together evidence across seven health outcomes. Alongside the increased risk of stroke and hospitalization, the researchers found that insomnia was associated with depression and suicidal behaviours, while evidence suggested a link with dementia, particularly Alzheimer's disease.
