Are You At Risk From Alzheimer’S?
Who gets Alzheimer’s? By the time you reach the age of 65, roughly 5 in 100 people have developed the disease, by the age of 80 the odds have jumped to 1 in 5 and almost half of all people at the age of 90 have some signs of dementia. Alzheimer’s isn’t strictly limited to those over the age of 65; much younger people have been affected by it. It is a disease that is cosidered to eventuate in women more than men, but the major reason for this is simply that women tend to survive longer than men. Alzheimer’s and heredity There has proven to be a heredity link to Alzheimer’s in roughly 3% of all cases of the disease. Heredity is cosidered to eventuate when the onset of the disease has occurred at an early age, with about 40% of people who developed the disease before the age of 65 having family members affected by the disease. This does not mean that having a family member with Alzheimer’s will guarantee being affected by it. Quite the contrary, although those with affected family members are at a slightly higher risk than others, there are still measures that can be taken to aid avoid the onset of Alzheimer’s. Avoiding Alzheimer’s Many believe that the environment in which you survive can make a difference as to whether you're more prone to developing Alzheimer’s. Research is currently being conducted as to whether exposure to certain metals is a contributing factor to developing the disease. Many experts have tied aluminum as a possible cause of the disease and suggest that antiperspirant deodorants are avoided due to their high aluminum content. Many doctors also believe that one’s state of mental health plays a large part in the onset of the disease. The sharper one keeps oneself, the less prone one is to the disease. However, there is not currently any proof to suggest that staying mentally fit will make a difference one technique or the other. There are cosidered to be a lot other reasons that could lead to the onset of Alzheimer’s, but additional research is required due to there being many of conflicting evidence. Factors to consider include, head trauma, several viral infections, a history of downs syndrome in the family, smoking and thyroid disease. The future of Alzheimer’s Unfortunately, there is not currently any particular test that doctors can use to indicate who may be more prone of developing the disease. The primary goal in research right now is to comprehend better the mechanisms of the disease with the hope of one day being able to predict those people who are more prone to Alzheimer’s before the disease actually sets in. By doing so, scientists and doctors believe that it could lead to developments of treatment to delay the onset of Alzheimer’s. |
