Huge Number of Dementia Cases Could Be Prevented with Lifestyle Changes

少食，禁酒，禁煙，運動を沢山…UKのアルツハイマー事例85万件の40%はこれで回避できたもの https://t.co/ikyaENxuvW　教育もまたアルツハイマーを防ぐ要因。高学歴者ほど生涯にわたり複雑な思考を続ける。考えること自体が健忘症リスクを低減する。

The team categorized the risk factors by age, with education found to be a means of prevention in early life, or for those 45-years-old and younger; blood pressure, obesity, hearing loss, brain injuries, and alcohol misuse related to mid-life for the 45 to 65s, and the remainder associated with later life in those older than 65.


"This report estimates that 40 percent of dementias might be preventable with lifestyle changes which means that the remaining 60 percent are to the best of our knowledge caused by things people cannot control like their genes—so I hope that this report will not lead to people feeling like having dementia is their 'fault.'"

生活習慣を変えれば、認知症の４０％は予防できるが、残りの６０％は自分たちにはどうしようもない。だから、仮に認知症になっても自分のせいでそうなったと自分を責めないでほしいーーーーというんだが、逆に、自分ではどうしようもない原因で認知症になる、というのも・・・不運というか、ついてなかった、というか・・・やりきれない思いもするだろうね。
