One night, after dinner, Aunt Li went downstairs and walked around, and when she saw her neighbor, Aunt Zhao, the two of them chatted.
In fact, in addition to these two people in this community, there was also a particularly good relationship with Aunt Wang, but she was lost once half a year ago and was picked up by her child.
It turned out that Aunt Wang was suffering from Alzheimer's, and the child was not at ease and took care of it.
Aunt Li and Aunt Zhao both sighed very much, because the three of them had a good time before.
Then Aunt Li said: "I saw on the Internet that the probability of Alzheimer's disease is still related to blood type." ”
"Really? It has something to do with blood type. ”
So is there really a relationship between Alzheimer's and blood type? What are the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease?
1. What are the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease?
老年痴呆在医学上叫做阿尔茨海默病。
With today's medical level, once you get this disease, there is no way to reverse it.
Medical methods can slow down the progression of the disease, but it cannot be completely treated.
Therefore, suffering from Alzheimer's disease is a lifelong disease, which will bring great distress to patients and their families.
So what are the specific manifestations of Alzheimer's disease?
Memory impairment is a more obvious manifestation of Alzheimer's disease, and this forgetfulness is usually manifested in the inability to remember recent events.
For example, where is your home and where you put your things, but you remember very well what happened when you were a child a long time ago, which is a typical symptom.
In addition, for the elderly with Alzheimer's disease, drowsiness is also a more typical symptom.
Friendly reminder: Because the characters in this article are long, there may be an "ad unlock mode" in the article, but fortunately, in the new policy of the platform, ad unlocking is free, you only need to read it to continue reading, thank you for the officials, and the platform.
Under normal circumstances, adults sleep for about 7~9 hours a day.
If the elderly have special drowsiness, they should pay attention, it is likely to suffer from Alzheimer's disease, and the risk is relatively high.
People with Alzheimer's disease may develop a language barrier in which they are unable to express what they want to say and do not understand what others are saying.
There are many times when there are pauses, and at the same time, there is a repeat of the same sentence.
This is because the brain function is impaired, which affects the function of speech, which is a sign of nerve damage.
For patients with Alzheimer's disease, there is also a more obvious manifestation of slower walking, which is much lower than that of ordinary people.
Patients with Alzheimer's disease may also have greater emotional fluctuations, and may be sometimes irritable and sometimes cold in terms of emotion.
If you are stimulated to a certain extent, you will be inexplicably angry, which is what we call a tantrum for no reason, and you will even talk there yourself.
Another manifestation of Alzheimer's disease is that their judgment ability will be reduced, and some things are always misplaced.
For example, if you put things in the kitchen in the bedroom, this poor judgment indicates that there is a problem with cognitive ability at this time, that is, the brain function has been impaired and neurological degeneration.
Therefore, when the above symptoms appear, you must take the elderly at home to seek medical attention in time.
Specifically, if the diagnosed Alzheimer's disease must be better cared for, otherwise the elderly will easily not be able to come back when they go out.
And there is a saying that the probability of having Alzheimer's disease is related to blood type, so is it really related? What is the specific relationship?
2. Which blood type is prone to Alzheimer's?
There are four common blood types in our lives, type O, type AB, type A and type B, although the appearance of blood is the same, its composition is different.
Studies have shown that blood type affects the development of our nervous system, which is also a sign of brain aging.
The National Institute on Aging of United States also pointed out that as we age, the volume and vascular system of the brain and cognitive function will undergo certain changes.
Our brain also shrinks with age, and its various levels will undergo certain changes, and the gray matter volume composed of the brain's main neuronal cells will also decrease.
Alzheimer's disease is a kind of cognitive decline, and this cognitive decline is related to gray matter differences, and will also be affected by different blood types.
A study in the Journal of the United States Medical Association showed that people with AB blood type had a higher risk of memory problems and thinking problems than other blood types, 82% higher.
Because of this value and the fact that this study suggests that people with AB blood type may have a higher risk of developing brain disease than people with other blood types.
The reason for this problem is that people with the AB blood group have higher concentrations of factor 8.
The main role of this substance is to assist blood clotting, and the concentration and degree of blood clotting are positively correlated.
Therefore, it means that the higher the concentration of factor 8, the more serious the obstruction of blood circulation.
The brain will be deprived of oxygen, and in the state of hypoxia, the function of the brain will be limited, causing irreversible damage, which is easy to cause dementia.
Based on the above situation, it is believed that people with AB blood type are more likely to suffer from Alzheimer's disease than people with other blood types, which means that there is indeed such a statement, and blood type and dementia will have a certain relationship.
Of course, there is no single factor for the disease of Alzheimer's, and there are many factors that can lead to Alzheimer's.
However, it is still recommended that if you are a person with this blood type, you should pay attention to brain health as you grow older to prevent neurological degeneration, which is also to prevent Alzheimer's disease.
As a high-incidence disease, if you want to prevent Alzheimer's disease in your life, what can you do?
3. How to prevent Alzheimer's disease?
First of all, for middle-aged and elderly friends, it is necessary to maintain a good attitude and a good mental state, so that the body can be healthier.
As we age, many elderly people have a strong sense of loneliness.
They live next to their children, but most of them are either working or going to school.
Every day, I am alone at home, and I belong to a closed space for a long time, and there is no communication with the outside world.
In such a situation, it is easy to have bad emotions, such as anxiety, depression, depression, etc., which will lead to a particularly poor mental state for a long time.
Therefore, it is recommended that middle-aged and elderly people should face it with a positive attitude in life.
When no one is with you, then go out and see more things and participate in more social activities to make friends.
There is a lot to be gained in this process, and it is also to prevent the brain from aging.
A positive mood causes the body to produce positive hormones, which contribute to good health and maintain brain function.
Second, actively treat chronic diseases.
Inevitably, as we get older, all kinds of diseases come to our door.
In particular, some chronic diseases, such as hypertension and hyperlipidemia, may induce cerebral infarction and myocardial infarction.
When the blood supply to the brain is insufficient, it is easy to stimulate neuronal cells, causing the brain to shrink, and then causing Alzheimer's disease.
Therefore, it is necessary to actively manage chronic diseases, such as high blood sugar and high blood pressure, which are lifelong diseases.
Once it is achieved, it can only be controlled by medical means and lifestyle to prevent complications.
Alzheimer's disease is indeed affected by chronic diseases, so try to control the indicators of chronic diseases within the normal range.
Again, exercise more. People of all ages should pay attention to exercise, because if you don't exercise for a long time, it is easy to lead to obesity.
In particular, the metabolism rate of middle-aged and elderly friends is decreasing, and eating and not exercising for a long time is easy to lead to obesity without energy consumption.
Obesity is positively correlated with Alzheimer's disease, and the risk of developing the disease is higher.
Therefore, it is recommended to prevent Alzheimer's disease, you can choose to exercise more, and let the whole person move according to the condition of the body to prevent the brain and body from degenerating.
Of course, it is also important to pay attention to getting enough sleep, because during the process of sleep, the organs of the body are in the process of repairing, and the same is true for the brain.
Middle-aged and elderly friends should try to ensure about 7~9 hours of sleep every day.
Allowing organs to have a complete and adequate rest can also make their metabolic function normal, prevent brain damage, and fundamentally eliminate neurological degeneration of the brain.
Finally, have a healthy diet.
The damage of diet to the body may take a long time to become apparent, and there are many substances in life that can cause brain damage, such as high-sugar foods and pickled foods.
However, most people nowadays enjoy foods high in sugar and pickles, which can lead to systemic health problems.
Therefore, if you want to prevent Alzheimer's disease, diet is definitely essential.
It is recommended that middle-aged and elderly people can eat more walnuts, as well as deep-sea fish and broccoli, etc., which are beneficial to brain health and make the body healthier.
At the same time, it is necessary to change bad habits, such as smoking, drinking, and the harmful substances in tobacco and alcohol are also harmful to the brain.
It causes direct stimulation of the nervous system and increases the risk of Alzheimer's disease.
summary
Alzheimer's disease is considered a mild disease by many people, but it is a big blow to patients and their families.
Because the disease is relatively slow, the symptoms that manifest are easily considered to be signs of aging, so it is easy to ignore the disease.
However, when the disease is not controlled and develops to the middle and late stages, people become unable to take care of themselves, cannot leave others, and cannot recognize their family members, which is the most painful at this time.
Therefore, it is very important to prevent Alzheimer's disease, we must understand that blood type and Alzheimer's disease do have a certain relationship, but also have other factors that affect it, and we should pay attention to avoiding it every day.
