In a study of newlyweds, researchers can be delivered to other spouses from a spouse with depression and anxious spouses, which are delivered while closely contacted like a kiss.
Oral microbiomes such as intestinal microbial groups, and various bacteria communities in the mouth are gained understanding of how to affect physical and mental health. research Outside oral microorganisms are connected to autism spectrum disorders, dementia, Parkinson’s disease, schizophrenia, anxiety and depression.
In an interesting new study, the researchers have investigated whether oral microbial clustering can be delivered among people through kisses and whether such metastases can affect mental health.
Researchers said, “In view of the fact that bacteria can be transmitted among spouses, the study aims to investigate whether the oral microbial guns between newlyweds mediate depression and anxiety symptoms.
Researchers from Iran, India, Italy, and the UK participated in this study, and initially selected 1,740 couples for the presence of insomnia. Among them, 268 couples who lived together for the last six months were recruited. One spouse was a healthy control, and the other spouse had insomnia with anxiety and depression. On the first, day, and blades of the study, all participants photographed the oral microbial clustering and saliva cortisol (stress hormone) level. Participants asked the reference ceremony not to change the habits, oral hygiene or exercise routines during the study.
Researchers have been married to a partner of insomnia with six months of depression and anxiety, and healthy spouses have increased depression and anxiety scores and poor quality of sleep. The change was more prominent for female spouses. The saliva cortisol was quite high in insomnia spouse, but healthy spouses have a higher cortisol level in six months, showing stress -related physiological changes. Interestingly, the researchers observed that the composition of the bacteria found in the mouth of a healthy spouse has changed considerably, making it more like a partner affected.
Researchers said, “Oral microbial transitions between individuals in close contact, such as couples in this study, can mediate depression and anxiety.” “We have found that the change in the total composition of oral microorganisms is related to the severity of insomnia, saliva cortisol level, depression and anxiety scores. Our findings are consistent with previous studies on saliva cortisol levels, depression and anxiety scores.”
Researchers said that the oral microbial clustering between couples is meaningful, given that other forms of physiological motives have been documented. Synchronized heartbeat and Sleep match. They said their findings were especially influenced by overall and personalized prevention medicine in the context of mental health.
Some limitations of this study are used to measure insomnia, depression and anxiety; Morning saliva cortisol level measurement; And the failure of researchers who did not control co -lifestyle elements such as diet. In addition, due to financial restraints, the bacterial sample was collected only in the tonsils and pharynx, not the entire oral microbial group.
Nevertheless, this study raises some interesting questions about future research.
Researchers said, “Since this study is a association, further research is needed to establish whether this association is causal.” “If the association is actually a causal relationship, it can have a significant impact on modern research.”
This study was published in the journal. Survey and hypothesis of medicine.
