A group led by researchers from the Complexity Science Hub (CSH) Vienna examined what can be learned about the illness histories from data on a total of around 44 million hospital stays in Austria from 2003 to 2014.
618 different disease processes were found in women and 642 in men, with such a process spanning over 70 years comprising an average of nine different diagnoses. For women, for example, a striking starting point is a high blood pressure diagnosis between the ages of ten and nineteen. As a result, a subgroup with this diagnosis develops metabolic diseases later, while a second group develops chronic kidney diseases in their twenties, sometimes with an increased probability of mortality.
Obesity as a result?
In men, one of the problematic starting points found is an organic sleep disorder between the ages of 20 and 29. The researchers then identify two typical courses: one leads to metabolic diseases such as diabetes mellitus or obesity, the second, among other things, to movement disorders such as Parkinson’s. If we know a lot about how people’s medical histories can typically develop from the cradle to the grave “and which critical moments in their lives significantly shape the further course of their lives,” there are “clues for very early prevention strategies,” says the first author of the study Elma Dervic.
