What is Alzheimer's disease? Alzheimer's disease in medical terms is a disease caused by lesions of the central nervous system, and most of them occur more in the elderly.
With the continuous development and changes of modern society, some studies have shown that the incidence of Alzheimer's disease has become younger, and the population of our country is large, and the corresponding number of people suffering from Alzheimer's disease is also relatively large in the world;
So in daily life we still need to pay more attention, so what are the signals that Alzheimer's disease has begun to find the door? If there are elderly people in the family, you can look at it, so that preventive care can be taken care in time.
1. Memory decline
In everyday life, memory loss is an important signal of Alzheimer's disease. Although with age, people's memory does decline;
But this is not the same thing as the memory decline after suffering from Alzheimer's disease, because people with Alzheimer's disease often forget what happened at the previous moment, and their memory is relatively short-lived.
If you find that the elderly in your family often have this kind of situation of forgetting what happened at the last moment, then you should pay attention to the fact that the probability of him suffering from Alzheimer's disease is very high.
2. Changes in behavior
After suffering from Alzheimer's disease, people's behavior will also undergo some changes, for example, some people may not be able to distinguish between day and night, choose to sleep during the day, and choose to go out at night;
And some people will even get lost often, even if it is the road they often walked before, they will not know, and then they can't find the way home; others will often do some repetitive actions, such as walking back and forth.
3, the speech changes greatly
People with Alzheimer's disease may not be obvious at first, but as the symptoms worsen, then they will also have some changes in their language expression;
For example, some people will find that communication becomes very difficult, many elderly people are difficult to express clearly what they want to say, there will be like words to the mouth but do not know how to say, and even when the symptoms are serious, they will not be able to speak or lose the ability to express language.
4. Personality changes
There is also a more obvious change in people with Alzheimer's disease, that is, personality changes, but this symptom is often ignored by people, after all, if it is not a person who is always together, it is difficult to notice.
For example, some old people have a kind and gentle personality before, and suddenly become grumpy and stubborn, and like to be calculating;
Some people, who were originally lively and cheerful, suddenly became quiet and silent. If the elderly in your family have these situations, then you need to pay attention.
If the elderly in the family have been unfortunate to suffer from Alzheimer's disease, then it is necessary to do a good job of nursing work, first of all, to adjust the diet for the elderly, and the specific diet can be formulated according to the Mediterranean diet structure;
Secondly, in the face of patients with Alzheimer's disease, we must have enough patience, do not lose our temper at will, and understand more; then take the elderly out of the house for activities;
Finally, it is necessary to ensure the health of the elderly, whether it is personal hygiene or residential hygiene, and to give the elderly a warm and hygienic living environment.
Alzheimer's disease is a disease that can never be completely treated, what we can do is to prevent it first, if unfortunately someone suffers, then it is necessary to carry out scientific nursing treatment, so as to delay the symptoms.
With the development of society, more and more people suffer from Alzheimer's disease, we need to be more careful, prevention work should be done well, otherwise once accidentally suffered from it is not good.
