Degenerative lesions of the nervous system of the brain are prone to alzheimer's disease, which is also one of the most common diseases in the elderly over 65 years old.
When Alzheimer's disease occurs, the symptoms of patients will be manifested according to the severity of the disease, such as mild Alzheimer's disease will make the patient's memory decline, with the development of the disease, cognitive and language function will also be abnormal, and even affect the intelligence and life ability of the elderly.
Therefore, Alzheimer's disease is one of the diseases that seriously threaten the health of the elderly, especially the following six types of elderly people should beware of the occurrence of the disease.
1. Patients with brain diseases. If the elderly themselves suffer from brain diseases, it is difficult for the cells of the brain to return to normal after being damaged, so the function of the brain may be more likely to decline than normal peers, if the maintenance of the brain is not strengthened, it is possible to suffer from Alzheimer's disease.
2. People with a family history of Alzheimer's disease. If an elderly person's parents or immediate elders have had Alzheimer's disease, the older person is at a higher risk of developing Alzheimer's disease than others. Because clinical studies have found that Alzheimer's disease has a certain family history.
Therefore, people with Alzheimer's disease in the family should strengthen the maintenance of the brain as soon as possible to prevent the occurrence of Alzheimer's disease.
3. People who live alone. Clinical findings have shown that the elderly living alone may be in a state of depression due to lack of communication with the outside world, the activity of brain cells is relatively poor, and emotions are often depressed.
Coupled with the fact that they usually do not like to watch TV, listen to music or read books, they rarely let the brain cells get stimulated, and the brain cells are prone to premature aging.
By maintaining this lifestyle for a long time, the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease is higher than that of other elderly people.
4. Frequent contact and intake of aluminum. In daily life, people will inevitably be exposed to aluminum, and a small amount of contact will generally not cause damage to brain nerves and cells.
If aluminum is frequently received or ingested, the elderly with poor body immunity will increase the incidence of Alzheimer's disease due to damage to nerve cells.
5. Three high patients. In the clinic, many Patients with Alzheimer's disease are three high patients, whether they suffer from high blood pressure, high blood sugar or high blood lipids, which may cause the blood supply and oxygen supply of the brain to be affected.
If the brain does not get an adequate supply of blood oxygen, the brain nerves and cells may decline, and even cause brain atrophy and cause Alzheimer's disease.
6. People who smoke and drink alcohol for a long time. If the elderly maintain the habit of smoking and drinking for a long time, the cerebral blood vessels may be damaged by harmful substances such as nicotine, carbon monoxide, tar, alcohol, etc., resulting in lesions in the cerebral blood vessels.
Over a long period of time, it is easy to cause the central nervous system to malfunction, so that the memory and intelligence of the elderly are affected, and further cause Alzheimer's disease.
The above six are the high-risk groups of Alzheimer's disease. These six groups of people should strengthen the maintenance of brain cells and actively prevent the occurrence of Alzheimer's disease.
If you find that you have recent memory decline, computing decline, frequent dizziness, headache, it is best to go to the hospital in time, if you can find Alzheimer's disease at an early stage, you can use drug treatment to strengthen the maintenance of life and diet, control the deterioration of the disease, so that the quality of life of patients is not too affected.
