What are the precursors of dementia and what are the precursors of dementia?

Alzheimer's disease in the elderly is caused by many reasons, including brain degeneration, cerebrovascular disease, infection, trauma, tumors, nutritional and metabolic disorders, etc., among which Alzheimer's disease, which we often call senile dementia, is the most common.

What is Alzheimer's disease?

Alzheimer's disease is a group of unidentified primary degenerative brain degenerative diseases. It is manifested by cognitive function and mental decline, behavioral and personality changes, and is the most common disease of Alzheimer's disease.

What are the precursors of senile dementia in older adults?

Alzheimer's disease is divided into three stages according to the condition, and in the early stage, it is also regarded as the precursor stage of senile dementia, which is manifested as: 1. It is usually manifested as recent memory loss 2. Language ability declines, and you can't find the right words to express what you want to express, and sometimes you don't know how to say what you want to say; 3. The sense of space is very poor, and it is easy to get lost, even if it is a familiar road, sometimes you may get lost. 4. Sometimes he behaves very naïve, just like a child, laughing when he is happy, emotionally unstable, sometimes happy, sometimes irritable.

5. The activity is significantly less than before, and he is relatively indifferent to people, even if it is his own relatives, he loves to take care of it and lacks enthusiasm.

The above are some of the precursor symptoms of senile dementia, if there are elderly people in the family, you can refer to it, after all, senile dementia is generally easy to be ignored in the early stage, and it is often regarded as a characteristic of old age and is not discovered. When the family realizes that their elderly may be suffering from senile dementia, they must pay attention to it, generally the early stage will last for one to three years, and then the condition will worsen, the family should make all kinds of necessary preparations in advance, such as providing a more fixed living environment for the elderly, wearing signs, and treating some bad emotions of the elderly correctly to prevent accidents.

Alzheimer's disease is a relatively bad problem, ** will be more difficult, the initial signs are often more obvious, but it is also easy to be ignored by people, we should take the initiative to understand this information, in order to make the late elderly have a good enough quality of life, so what are the precursors of Alzheimer's disease?

1. Severe memory loss.

China has entered the stage of aging, the number of people with dementia is increasing, most of the elderly will have a more obvious memory decline, may not have any impression of some of the things that happened in the early days, but become more and more profound about the things that happened a long time ago, with the continuous development of the disease, memory will also be seriously declined, and even do not know relatives and friends around them.

2. Confusion of thinking logic.

The condition of senile dementia is constantly aggravating, patients often have no way to use language to accurately express their thoughts, language function will be greatly weakened, there is no way to find accurate words to describe their thoughts, there may be verbosity, the preface does not match the afterword, and the coherence and logic of language will be greatly reduced.

3. Time and space are confused and confused.

People with dementia often get lost, there is no way to find the way home according to their current geographical location, the time will be very confusing, and they can't always remember the specific time and date, so the elderly should avoid going out alone to avoid getting lost.

4. Changes in psychological and emotional feelings.

In the early stage of dementia in the elderly, there will be relatively large changes in their emotions, often showing indifference to relatives and friends, there is no way to better control their true emotions, and they will suddenly cry and make a fuss when they are calm, and even damage the surrounding items, and may also damage the people next to them.

If the elderly at home have some of the above symptoms, then they should be alert to the appearance of dementia, and they can go to a regular hospital for relevant examinations to clarify the condition before they can effectively intervene, otherwise there will be a series of serious consequences.

Precursors of dementia include memory loss, poor sleep, incoherent speech, and more. Memory loss is manifested in the form of loss.

Fourth, I don't know the way, I forgot my password, I forgot what I did, etc. Once dementia is established, it should be accepted as soon as possible**.

The first sign is that although the most common cause of dementia has not yet been found, all car loans have signs to follow, and the first sign is amnesia.

The causes of Alzheimer's disease mainly include the following aspects: the older you are, the higher the chance of Alzheimer's disease, heredity. People with a family history will have a higher chance of developing the disease, lifestyle such as smoking, unreasonable alcoholism, lack of diet and social communication, and less various diseases, such as arteriosclerosis and high blood pressure, diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke, encephalitis, gas poisoning, etc.

Alzheimer's disease is an irreversible disease, and the best way to delay dementia can only be achieved through early detection, early intervention, and early **!

For the early symptoms, it is quite easy for family members to be careful, and Carnation, a cognitive deficiency care expert, has summarized the following 10 characteristics:

1.memory loss, affecting daily life;

2.Inability to operate appliances such as microwave ovens;

3.Inability to cope with familiar things;

4.Things are placed out of order, and they lose the ability to look back;

5.difficulty in verbal expression or writing;

6.changes in mood and personality;

7.loss of the concept of time and place;

8.Difficulties in calculating and changing the grasp or solving problems;

9.impaired judgment and reduced alertness;

10.Loss of activity and pioneering energy.

If there are any of the above 1-3 warning signs in your daily life, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible!

A precursor to Alzheimer's disease.

1. Memory impairment.

Memory impairment occurs in the early stages, especially near memory impairment, where it is impossible to recall what happened dozens of hours or even minutes ago. The patient's daily life is characterized by "losing everything" and "forgetting when he is finished", repeatedly asking questions that he has figured out or repeating the same things.

2. Language barrier.

Difficulty in finding words is often the earliest language disorder in Alzheimer's disease, which is mainly manifested in the inability to find suitable words when speaking, and the lack of substantive vocabulary is manifested as empty words; Or because of the difficulty in finding words, they use too many explanations to express themselves, and eventually they become nagging.

3. Visuospatial skill impairment.

In the early stages of Alzheimer's disease, there may be visuospatial impairment, and symptoms include inability to accurately judge the position of objects. Some people with dementia may get lost in familiar surroundings early in the course of the disease.

4. Difficulty in writing.

For example, the meaning of the written content is not clear due to writing difficulties, such as the inability to write a letter with a clear meaning, which is often the first symptom that attracts the attention of family members, especially some elderly people with good cultural accomplishment. Studies have suggested that writing errors are associated with distant memory impairment.

5. Agnosia and apraxia.

Being human means that the patient is unable to recognize objects, even though they are able to recognize the tactile or visual elements of the objects at this time; Apraxia refers to the inability to perform purposeful actions that have been learned, despite normal mobility and subjective desires. Examining apraxia and agnosia in patients with Alzheimer's is difficult, and it is sometimes difficult to distinguish apraxia and agnosia from the consequences due to aphasia, visuospatial skill impairment, and amnesia.

6. Dyscalculia.

Dyscalculia often develops in the middle stages of Alzheimer's disease, but it may manifest in the early stages, such as not making or miscalculating accounts when shopping. There are many causes of dyscalculia, which can be due to visuospatial impairment (inability to calculate correctly), failure to understand arithmetic assignments due to aphasia, or primary arithmetic inability.

7. Poor judgment and distraction.

Alzheimer's patients can have poor judgment, loss of profiling ability, and distraction in the early stage.

8. Mental disorders.

In the early stage, psychiatric symptoms can be manifested as self-centeredness, mania, hallucinations, delusions, depression, personality changes, delirium, etc., and the emotions are not easy to control.

Cognitive decline: including memory loss, admiring relatives and friends, impaired judgment, etc.

2.Behavioural disorders: including frequent loss of the way and loss of the road.

4. Progressive aphasia, confusion of speech, etc.

3.Personality changes: Symptoms such as childishness, sensitivity, withdrawal, depression, and irritability may occur.

Alzheimer's disease is a degenerative disease of the nervous system with an insidious onset, which causes brain damage due to degeneration of the nervous system. Alzheimer's disease is generally referred to as Alzheimer's disease.

Memory loss, loss.

Fourth, speech disorders, temper becoming strange and withdrawn, more sensitive and irritable, etc., may be the precursors of Alzheimer's disease.

The precursors of Alzheimer's disease are mainly manifested as memory loss, writing difficulties, decreased language expression ability, abnormal mood, personality changes, poor concentration, impaired judgment, decreased executive ability, and decreased visuospatial ability. Therefore, for the precursor manifestations of Alzheimer's disease, the specific analysis is as follows: Ma Chunzheng.

1. Memory loss: patients often show loss and forgetfulness of what they have just done.

2. Dysgraphia: Patients often want to write but don't know what to write, and they want to write simple words but can't write them.

3. Decreased language expression ability: patients often show that the content they want to express is not clear, they often forget words, and the content they express is incomprehensible.

4. Abnormal mood: patients are often anxious, negative, and emotionally abnormal, sometimes happy and sometimes depressed.

5. Personality changes: For example, the patient was introverted and suddenly became irritable, verbal, excited and euphoric, or the patient was extroverted and suddenly became taciturn, did not like to talk, and was not interested in anything.

6. Inattention: Patients often delay in singing the performance of not focusing on doing one thing, easy to wander or daze, and easy to be distracted.

7. Judgment disorder: patients often show slow reaction and difficulty in communicating with others.

8. Decreased hunger for executive pants: For example, it was easy for patients to complete one thing before, but now it is more difficult to complete one thing.

9. Decreased visuospatial ability: patients often show that they cannot find the way home after going out, and cannot accurately judge the location of going home.
