The tile vaccine has an unexpected effect on heart health
The list of potential benefits of the tile vaccine continues to grow.
Beyond protecting against viral infection and the resulting painful eruption, the shot has also been related to a reduced risk of dementia, as News Digital reported.
And now, a new study has found that the vaccine could reduce the risk of heart disease for up to eight years.

In the long -term study, the researchers analyzed up to 12 years of data for more than 1.2 million people 50 years or older in South Korea, focused on tile vaccination rates and 18 different types of cardiovascular diseases.

They discovered that those who received the tile vaccine had a 23% smaller risk of heart problems, including stroke, heart failure and coronary heart disease.
The benefits were older for people under 60, probably because they have a better immune response, according to researchers.

The health benefits of the heart of the vaccine were also more prominent among men and those who have unhealthy behaviors, such as sedentary, drinking alcohol and smoking.
The findings were published in the European Heart Journal on Tuesday.

The main symptom of tiles is a painful eruption that can lead to serious complications, particularly for older adults and those with weak immune systems, according to the main author, Professor Dong Keon Yon, of the Kyung Hee, Seoul University Faculty of Medicine, Seoul, South Korea.
Without vaccination, about 30% of people can develop tiles in their lives, Yon said.
“In addition to the eruption, tiles have been related to a greater risk of heart problems, so we wanted to know if vaccinating could reduce this risk,” he said in a press release.
“Our study suggests that the tile vaccine can help reduce the risk of heart disease, even in people without known risk factors.”
“Our study suggests that the tile vaccine can help reduce the risk of heart disease, even in known risk factors. This means that vaccination could offer health benefits beyond tile prevention.”

The researchers shared several possible reasons for the protective effect of the vaccine on heart health.
“An tile infection can cause damage to blood vessels, inflammation and formation of clots that can cause heart disease,” said Yon. “By preventing tiles, vaccination can reduce these risks.”
Potential limitations
Dr. Jasdeep Dalawari, an interventionist cardiologist and regional medical director based in Virginia de Vitalsolution, an engineering company, did not participate in the study, but offered his comments on the findings.

“This result is remarkable but requires careful interpretation, especially for the population of the United States,” Digital’s News told News.

“The study used a living vaccine, while the US uses the Shingrix, a recombinant vaccine (not alive),” Dalawari said. “It is important to keep in mind that Shingrix is more than 90% effective against tiles, compared to 51% of the living vaccine.”
The Live Zoster vaccine contains a weakened form of the Varicella Zoster virus that causes tiles.

The cardiologist also pointed out that the observation study shows correlation, not causality, and that more research is needed.
“The study included 1.2 million people over 50, all of an ethnic group,” he said. “Expanding the group of participants to include various ethnicities would be beneficial in our multiethnic society.”

Although the study considered other health conditions, lifestyle factors and the socioeconomic state, the researchers agreed that it had some limitations.
“As this study is based on an Asian cohort, the results may not be applied to all populations,” said Yon. “While we perform a rigorous analysis, this study does not establish a direct causal relationship, so a potential bias of other underlying factors should be considered.”

The team plans to carry out more research on the health benefits of the heart of the non -living and recombinant vaccine, which contains a virus protein.
