Will I get Alzheimer’s? A: This is a very good question, and many seniors come to me with this question. According to epidemiological surveys in several large cities in China, the prevalence of Alzheimer’s disease is 4.8% among people over the age of 65, which means that 5 out of every 100 people over the age of 65 have Alzheimer’s disease (what people call Alzheimer’s disease). The prevalence of dementia among people over 85 years old will reach 40%. So as we get older, our chances of developing Alzheimer’s disease are undeniably increasing. Your second question: What should I do if I get Alzheimer’s? A: In the unlikely event that you are diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in a specialist hospital, do not be alarmed and afraid, but work actively with your doctor to treat it with medication. Studies have shown that the earlier you start taking effective medication, the better you can control your disease. The rate of exacerbation will be effectively slowed down. Although we do not have a cure for Alzheimer’s disease so far, we have several effective medications and in our clinical work we have found that it is possible to give anti-dementia medications to bring the disease under long-term control. It is very important to treat early, take the medication on time and check regularly for changes in intelligence. It is also worth mentioning that getting warm and attentive care from your family is also important for the stability of your condition. Your third question: How can I prevent Alzheimer’s disease? A: Since there are many causes of Alzheimer’s disease, there are more than 100 causes, but the most common cause of Alzheimer’s disease is not very clear yet. Once you find that you have significant memory loss, especially if you can’t remember recent events and can’t recall them even after reminders, you should pay great attention to it and go to the neurology department or memory disorder specialist as soon as possible. We will give you a detailed medical evaluation and intelligence assessment, and will provide you with good medical help. The second most common type of dementia is vascular dementia, which often occurs secondary to cerebral infarction and cerebral hemorrhage. Therefore, the main prevention and treatment for this type of dementia is to prevent and control cerebrovascular disease, including measures to control hypertension, diabetes and hyperlipidemia, etc. If cerebrovascular disease does not occur, it will not become vascular dementia.
