In clinical medicine, Alzheimer's is mainly manifested by cognitive and memory decline, and mental and behavioral decline is easy to occur.
The incidence rate of Alzheimer's is on the rise, especially for the elderly who are over 65 years old, which has a incidence rate as high as 3%~8%, and the prevalence is inextricably linked with age.
Why are there more and more Alzheimer's patients?
Nowadays, the aging problem around the world is becoming more and more serious, and the number of Alzheimer's patients is also on the rise. With the increasing number of Alzheimer's patients, people have to pay attention to it.
1. Dietary factors.
Frequent overeating or bad habits such as smoking and drinking are important factors inducing Alzheimer's.
2. Aging factors.
Many studies have shown that many factors are related to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease, and the main inducing factor is related to aging. Once you are over 60 years old, the probability of suffering from Alzheimer's disease will be twice as high as before.
3. Other factors: The onset of Alzheimer's disease is usually related to low education level, lack of thinking, introversion, unwillingness to contact people and unhealthy lifestyle. In addition, low estrogen level in postmenopausal women may also be related to Alzheimer's disease, which is one of the predisposing factors of Alzheimer's disease.
The elderly should try to break 3 bad habits
4. Staying up late.
Staying up late for a long time without enough sleep will not only accelerate the aging of skin tissue cells, but also lead to the aging of brain cells. Brain tissue degrades faster and blood flow slows down. Harmful substances in the brain will interfere with the neurotransmitter function of neurons, increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease.
In particular, female should try to give up the habit of staying up late. Staying up late for a long time is likely to stimulate the uterus and cause endocrine disorders, which will harm the ovarian health.
1. Using brain less.
People who don't use their brains are more likely to suffer from Alzheimer's disease. If they often sit in a corner and stare, they will increase the probability of suffering from Alzheimer's.
The main inducement of Alzheimer's disease is related to the decline of brain function or brain atrophy. People who don't use their brains at ordinary times will accelerate the deterioration of their brains and hinder their normal operation, which will increase the probability of suffering from Alzheimer's.
2. Smoking and drinking
If the elderly who often smoke and drink want to stay away from the occurrence of malignant diseases such as Alzheimer's, timely smoking cessation and alcohol withdrawal are the most critical. These two bad habits pose a great threat to their health.
The nicotine, tar, carbon dioxide and other harmful substances and carcinogens in cigarettes will repeatedly stimulate the normal operation of brain cells. If you can not quit smoking and drinking, the probability of disease will increase.
3. No social activities
If you are a lonely old man, your immune function will decline after your body gets older. If loneliness makes you feel depressed, and you don't want to communicate with others, then it is easy to get divorced from the society when they are old, which is also the reason why many elderly people suffer from depression. Because their bodies have been in a sub-health state and have been suffering from loneliness for a long time, they are more likely to suffer from Alzheimer's disease. It is recommended that the elderly go out more to have a look, communicate more with others and do something they are interested in.
