A comprehensive study by Redcliffe Labs, a leading diagnostic healthcare provider, has uncovered alarming health issues among women, particularly anaemia and thyroid disorders. Analyzing health data from over one million women, the study found that three in five women are at risk of anaemia, making them three times more vulnerable than men. Additionally, one in five women faces the risk of thyroid disorders, which can lead to fatigue, metabolic issues, and hormonal imbalances.
Increase in Lifestyle-Related Disorders
As reported by bwhealthcareworld, the study highlights a significant rise in lifestyle-related conditions such as anaemia, thyroid disorders, arthritis, diabetes, and lipid imbalances among women. If left untreated, anaemia can cause chronic fatigue, weakened immunity, and severe long-term complications. Similarly, undiagnosed thyroid disorders can disrupt metabolism, weight regulation, and hormonal stability, impacting overall well-being.
Growing Cases of Diabetes and Lipid Disorders
An increasing number of women are being diagnosed with diabetes and lipid disorders, both of which are strongly linked to lifestyle factors. If not managed properly, these conditions can lead to severe cardiovascular and metabolic health risks. Early detection and lifestyle modifications play a crucial role in preventing long-term complications.
Importance of Preventive Healthcare
The findings emphasize the need for early screening, lifestyle modifications, and preventive healthcare measures to reduce the growing burden of non-communicable diseases. Regular health check-ups, a balanced diet, physical activity, and stress management are essential steps to lower these risks and improve overall health.
Expert Insights on Women’s Health Prioritization
Aditya Kandoi, CEO & Founder of Redcliffe Labs, stressed the urgency of addressing these health concerns. “The rising incidence of lifestyle disorders among women is a critical issue that demands immediate attention. Three in five women are at risk of anaemia, while one in five is vulnerable to thyroid disorders. Timely health screenings and preventive care are essential. Women often prioritize their families’ well-being over their own health. However, regular check-ups and small lifestyle adjustments can prevent long-term complications. Awareness, early diagnosis, and proactive steps today will ensure a healthier future,” he stated.
