Alzheimer's disease, also known as Alzheimer's disease, will not only lead to a rapid decline in memory, but also show a feeling of dementia.
This disease has great harm to the physical and mental health of the elderly, the reason why the elderly are a high incidence of this disease, the reason is that the physical functions of the elderly will continue to deteriorate, and their own resistance will continue to decline, so it is easy to suffer from such diseases.
Why do the elderly have Alzheimer's disease?
1. Endocrine disorders
The body of the elderly will continue to grow with age, and there will be more obvious degenerative changes, so it is easy to have the problem of endocrine disorders.
Or suffering from some endocrine diseases, the more common is hyperthyroidism or low, this disease can easily lead to the emergence of Alzheimer's disease.
Therefore, in order to effectively prevent Alzheimer's disease, family members should regularly take the elderly to physical examination, so that some abnormal phenomena on the body of the elderly can be found in time.
Once the elderly are found to have signs of Alzheimer's disease, then treatment should be carried out as soon as possible, only in this way can we avoid the increasingly serious disease of Alzheimer's disease.
If the elders in the family suffer from Alzheimer's disease, as the younger generations, they should do their best to take care of their food, clothing and living, and must not let them go out alone, otherwise it is easy to encounter danger once they are lost.
2. Cerebrovascular disease
Cerebrovascular diseases can be said to be one of the main causes of Alzheimer's disease, because such diseases can easily damage the brains of the elderly, and then cerebral infarction dementia.
Under normal circumstances, before the emergence of Alzheimer's disease, patients will basically have multiple times of mild cerebral ischemia, if not timely and effective treatment and control, then it is easy to cause substantial cerebral infarction, which is also an important reason for the elderly to suffer from Alzheimer's disease.
In addition, cerebrovascular diseases may also induce acute onset cerebrovascular dementia or subcortical vascular organ dementia, these two kinds of Alzheimer's disease must arouse the attention of patients and families;
Especially after the appearance of cerebral hemorrhage or cerebral infarction disease, it is easy to lead to the deterioration of Alzheimer's disease, so if the elderly have cerebrovascular diseases, it should not only cause high vigilance, but also should go to the hospital for treatment in time.
3. Traumatic brain injury or epilepsy
The appearance of brain trauma in the elderly due to accidents will not only cause certain harm to the head, but also induce the emergence of Alzheimer's disease.
Especially for the elderly with epilepsy, the appearance of Alzyzheimer's disease is also a reasonable thing, because epilepsy disease can seriously damage the nerves of brain tissue, which in turn leads to the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease in the elderly.
In addition, for the elderly who have been widowed for a long time or are depressed, it is more important to actively prevent the emergence of Alzheimer's disease, because long-term solitude can easily affect the mentality and mood, and when the mood is in a bad state for a long time, it is easy to induce the emergence of Alzheimer's disease.
There are also the elderly who lack physical and mental exercise, and they are also a high incidence of Alzheimer's disease.
The above introduces the reasons for the elderly suffering from Alzheimer's disease, the already great harm of alzheimer's disease to the physical and mental health of the elderly, everyone has the day of aging, so for families with elderly people, in addition to often taking the elderly to physical examination, usually should also pay more attention to family care and dietary care, so as to prevent the emergence of Alzheimer's disease.
