Heart-warming message: Alzheimer's likes to 'latent' in 5 groups of people, early understanding and early prevention
The occurrence of Alzheimer's disease will pose a threat to human health. The brain function of patients with advanced Alzheimer's disease is damaged, the rate of degeneration is significantly accelerated, and there may be situations where they cannot take care of themselves. Therefore, the face of Alzheimer's disease should not be taken lightly, and treatment measures should be taken in time.
In addition, some people are more prone to Alzheimer's disease, and preventive measures should be taken. Then, which types of people have a high probability of developing Alzheimer's disease?
- Heavy smokers
People who smoke a lot for a long time have a significantly higher probability of developing Alzheimer's disease, because the influence of harmful substances in tobacco smoking for a long time will accelerate the lesions of cerebral blood vessels, and it will make the nerve function more easily damaged. Some people always smoke a lot at one time, and it is easy to inhale the carbon monoxide in the tobacco burning process, which reduces the oxygen-carrying capacity of red blood cells.
The oxygen needed by the brain tissue cannot be provided in time, which will also damage the brain tissue and neurological function, thereby increasing the prevalence of Alzheimer's disease. Therefore, in the process of preventing Alzheimer's disease, you should get rid of bad habits and do not smoke a lot on a regular basis.
- People who have suffered head trauma
In the case of head trauma, the incidence of Alzheimer's disease will be higher. Because the function of the brain may be affected after trauma to the head, and even nerve tissue may be damaged, it may be accompanied by disturbance of consciousness during the disease process.
Even if the trauma to the head is healed, there may still be some internal damage, and such people are much more likely to develop Alzheimer's disease. Therefore, it is usually necessary to protect the head to prevent physical health threats, which is also an important measure to reduce the incidence of Alzheimer's disease.
- Depressed patients
The probability of developing dementia increases with prolonged exposure to depression, and during the process of depression affecting health, patients will have persistent and significant symptoms of low mood. As the disease progresses, brain function declines, and there may be reduced memory and mood swings. The combined effect of these factors can lead to accelerated neurodegenerative changes in the brain, increasing the possibility of inducing Alzheimer's disease.
- People with family inheritance
If more than one person in the family has Alzheimer's disease, people who are related by blood should pay attention to prevention, and prevent the disease by improving brain function. Because Alzheimer's disease is related to genetic factors, the disease is mainly caused by autosomal dominant genes. If multiple people in the family have this disease, other people are more likely to get sick, and preventive measures should be taken in advance.
- Elderly people who are alone for a long time
Older people who are withdrawn and left alone for long periods of time are more likely to develop Alzheimer's disease. Because of the lack of opportunities to communicate with others in the process of being alone, it may make it easier to feel depressed. In addition, people who are alone are more likely to be lonely and withdrawn. Under the combined effect of these factors, mental abnormalities may occur, and the possibility of developing Alzheimer's disease will increase significantly over time.
