How does "scientific power" prevent dementia?Reflection, righteous thoughts

"The 86 -year -old man lived alone with dementia 6 times, and the police presented a defense loss positioner" "Guangxi's Alzheimer's old man went to 7 days and 7 nights. The news of the news is endless, and the elderly have dementia, which is becoming more and more common in today's society.

Taking South Korea as an example, people over 60 years of age with dementia have increased from 720,000 in 2017 to 910,000 in March this year. At the same time, the disappearance of Alzheimer's patients has also increased sharply. According to South Korea's "Korean Daily", a report from 7,650 patients looking for dementia was received in 2012, and it increased to 12,479 in 2019. Affected by the epidemic, the growth momentum from 2020-2021 has slowed down, but from January to July this year, it still received a report from 8,444, of which 97%were elderly people over 60 years old.

Alzheimer's disease generally refers to Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a degenerative disease of the nervous system that has been developed and developed. Clinically, comprehensive dementia is characterized by memory disorders, aphasia, dissecting, disappointment, visual skills damage, execution dysfunction, and personality and behavioral changes. Those who were born before the age of 65 said that they were old -aged, and those who became older after the age of 65 called senile dementia.

The disease may be a group of heterogeneous diseases that occur under the action of multiple factors (including biological and social psychological factors). From the perspective of research, there are more than 30 possibilities and hypotheses of the disease, such as family history, women, head trauma, low education level, thyroid disease, too low or too low in childbirth, virus infection, etc. However, until now, Alzheimer's disease has not been completely cured. Therefore, prevention has become one of the important guarantees.

Recently, a study published in the "Neurology" magazine showed that the elderly carried out self -reflection -that is, actively assessing their own ideas, feelings, and behaviors -may reduce the risk of dementia.

More and more evidence shows that positive psychological factors, such as clear life goals and the spirit of due diligence, can reduce the risk of dementia. The current priority is to find a way to further reduce the risk of dementia. Therefore, researchers believe that since the ability to self -reflection can be improved, this method can become a useful tool to help people maintain cognitive health while growing age. Anyone can make self -reflection and try to improve the degree of reflection, because it does not rely on physical health or socioeconomic factors.

However, the researchers also reminded that although the research results show that self -reflection helps to save cognition, this may also be because people with better cognitive ability themselves have more capable self -reflection, and may need more vertical research to determine Causal relationship.
