Research conducted in the United Kingdom revealed that the order of diseases people get over the years affects their lifespan. So much so that there were remarkable changes in the life span of patients who were caught with the same diseases at different times. Let’s take a closer look at this interesting research together.
A group of scientists analyzed the health data of 1.6 million individuals aged 25 and over living in Wales. Examining 20-year summaries of individuals’ health histories, experts made assessments on psychosis, diabetes and congestive heart failure diseases. The research carried out; It made it clear that individuals suffering from diabetes, psychosis and congestive heart failure, respectively, have a shorter lifespan.
Catching diseases in this order shortens the expected lifespan by 13 years!
According to research in the United Kingdom, the life expectancy of an individual with diabetes, then psychosis and finally congestive heart failure was reduced by up to 13 years compared to other individuals. Moreover, combinations in different orders produced different results. Scientists have announced that the difference in life expectancy in individuals caught in these diseases in a different order can reach up to 10 years.
In addition to all these; Individuals with diabetes, psychosis, and congestive heart failure, respectively, were more likely than others to develop a new serious illness or die within 5 years of their last diagnosis. However, there are some interesting aspects as well. That is, just getting psychosis was more dangerous than getting psychosis and diabetes in any order. It was determined that congestive heart failure alone or together with psychosis was the most dangerous possibility after the combination of “diabetes, psychosis and congestive heart failure”.
Working at Swansea University, Prof. The work, led by Rhiannon Owen, is the first of its kind. However, very important results have been obtained from the first study. Stating that this should not be ignored, experts state that people with diseases within the scope of the research can talk to their doctors. According to experts, if a diabetes patient talks to his doctor and takes precautions against psychosis early, life expectancy can be improved.
