Now, a new study suggests that hot flashes, especially during sleep, may be more than a nuisance: They may foreshadow Alzheimer's disease.
Previous research has shown that hot flashes — particularly those that occur during sleep — may travel with poorer memory and small vessel disease in the brain, which has been linked to risk for future problems with memory and thinking, Thurston said. Women who had more hot flashes during sleep were more likely to be in the low/abnormal Aβ 42/40 range, the study showed.
Exactly how hot flashes during sleep may increase the risk for Alzheimer's disease is not fully understood yet. “There may be something particularly important about these nocturnal hot flashes that we have not appreciated up to this point,” Thurston suggested.
