By Lisa Rapaport (Reuters Health) - - Women with breast cancer who sleep at least nine hours a night may be more likely to die from their tumors than patients who get just eight hours of rest, a recent study suggests. Compared to women sleeping eight hours a night, women who slept at least nine hours were 46 percent more likely to die of breast cancer, the study found. After up to 30 years of follow-up, the women who got more sleep were also 34 percent more likely to die of other causes.
New research has claimed that women who are lonely are more likely to die from returning breast cancer. The study of nearly 10,000 patients, conducted by the Kaiser Permanente Division of Research in California, found that breast cancer survivors who are socially isolated were 60% more likely to die from the disease if it returns than those who are more socially active. The research also found that lonely women – including some who are married but do not see their friends – had a 40% higher chance of the disease returning in the first place.
