Today, let's talk about how to prevent Alzheimer's disease.
Son is a very common neurodegenerative disease, which is one of the common types of dementia, accounting for about 2/3 of dementia. Alzheimer's Harmo's disease is also the disease with the highest prevalence rate among the elderly. Among people over 65 years old, the prevalence rate of Alzheimer's Harmo's disease is about 5%. With the growth of age, the prevalence rate is also among people over 8 years old, and the prevalence rate can reach more than 2%, and it will be higher than that of women.
Alzheimer's disease has had a very serious impact on the health and normal life of the elderly. In the past few decades, many studies have been carried out on AIDS Harmo's disease all over the world, exploring the high-risk factors and pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease, and looking for more measures to prevent Alzheimer's Harmo's disease.
In 243 studies, researchers analyzed 134 risk factors, among which 43 risk factors have a great relationship with the increased risk of Alzheimer's disease. Then, changing 8% of these 43 risk factors can reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease by 25%, and 15 intervention measures were reported in 153 randomized controlled experiments, which can reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease. After induction and integration by scientific methods, the researchers summarized 1 strong suggestions, 9 weak suggestions and 2 non-suggestions to prevent Harmo's disease.
Among these suggestions, 2/3 focus on vascular risk factors, such as cholesterol level and hypertension lifestyle, indicating that maintaining vascular health and healthy lifestyle is very important for preventing Alzheimer's disease.
Now more and more researches are confirming that heart health and brain health are closely linked, and the brain is one of the organs with the most abundant blood vessels. A healthy heart can ensure enough blood to enter the brain and supply nutrients and oxygen needed by the brain, which will increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases, and often increase the risk of dementia, such as diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, obesity, smoking and so on. Therefore, it is very important to prevent dementia and control these factors.
And some research shows that maintaining social interaction and healthy diet is very helpful to brain health, especially for some retired elderly people, because they don't need to use their brains at work, so their social interaction has also decreased a lot. If there are too few sisters who are tested by the outside world, it will be difficult to keep their cognitive function normal. Therefore, it is necessary to use their brains for the elderly to have enough social interaction, such as playing chess and mahjong.
