When women withhold their feelings, put their needs second and don’t talk to their romantic partners, a new study suggests they could actually be at greater risk for heart disease.
The researchers looked at information from 304 pre- and post-menopausal women who were part of a study about hot flashes. They women filled out numerous questionnaires, including one that measured the idea of self-silencing — when people don’t communicate their feelings to steer away from a fight or save a relationship.
The researchers found that women who said they self-silenced had more plaque in their carotid arteries than those who did not. While the study indicates a relationship between the two, the researchers cannot say that self-silencing is what caused the plaques to form. “The behaviors around self-silencing definitely impact health — depression, anger,” he told TODAY. “I can certainly see it leading to unhealthy lifestyles.”
