The personality of the elderly changes drastically, which is generally a sign of Alzheimer's disease. The disease is a neurodegenerative disease that occurs in people over 60 years of age, and the incidence increases significantly with age. The disease progresses gradually after the onset of the disease, usually with insidious onset, and most cases last 5 to 10 years.
Patients present primarily with progressive mental decline and personality changes. In the early stages, patients may present with near memory loss, but distant memory is relatively preserved, and cognitive dysfunction may occur as the disease worsens. In advanced disease, there may be complete loss of cognitive function, personality changes, or personality changes.
Patients may appear to be unaware of their old friends, think that the client is a thief, often be frightened by their own images in the mirror, etc., and may generally need long-term care from others.

1. Decline in learning ability: It is the initial performance, such as the decline in learning and memorization ability;
2. Memory loss: Near-memory loss is an early manifestation of stupidity, and there is no impression of what happened recently, such as what you ate last night, what you have done or will do, and the mobile phone number of acquaintances.
As the disease progresses, there will also be distant memory loss, that is, there is no memory of past events, such as things you did when you were young, how many children you have, etc.
3. Visual space barrier: I don't know the location of the toilet at home, I can't find the way home after going out, and I lose my spatial ability;
4. Mental illness is quietly rising: in the late stage, there may be mental symptoms such as depression and anxiety at the same time.

Not only the elderly will suffer from Alzheimer's disease, but now many young people will also suffer from Alzheimer's disease, so young people should also pay attention to the prevention of physical diseases, so as not to suffer from Alzheimer's disease at a young age, which has a great impact on health, especially some young people are in the stage of entrepreneurship.
People who often stay up late have a great chance of suffering from Alzheimer's disease, and staying up late often hurts our brains, so it is best for us not to stay up late often, because the nightlife is too rich, which is also not good for health, and the probability of suffering from Alzheimer's disease will be much greater.
People with high work pressure are also prone to Alzheimer's disease, and when the work pressure is too great, many people will often work overtime, be overworked, do not rest all day, lack of sleep, and the brain will degenerate after a long time, and it will slowly become Alzheimer's disease.
Young people are also unhealthy, and they are more likely to suffer from Alzheimer's disease, for example, they like to eat preserved eggs, they like to eat pickled food, and the tableware at home is aluminum, they are most likely to suffer from Alzheimer's disease.
Young people have a great chance of developing Alzheimer's disease, so young people must take preventive measures, especially those who live in the office, programmers, and have a greater chance of suffering from Alzheimer's disease.

People who are aging and often stay up late have a great chance of suffering from Alzheimer's disease, and staying up late often hurts our brains, so it is best for us not to stay up late, the nightlife is too rich, and it is also not good for health, and the probability of suffering from Alzheimer's disease will be much greater.

The day of eating is a kind of central nervous system degenerative disease patients will have obvious memory loss, cognitive dysfunction, personality abnormalities and other symptoms of Alzheimer's disease more and more people, generally and modern people, lack of sleep, lack of exercise, too little exercise, improper diet, living habits, as well as three highs, cerebrovascular disease incidence and other reasons are related, should develop good living habits. **Primary disease, which is conducive to reducing the risk of Alzheimer's disease.
Lack of sleep, Alzheimer's disease more and more people, and lack of sleep, there is a certain relationship, if the sleep habits are poor, stay up late for a long time or work pressure is particularly high, often overtime until the middle of the night leads to severe sleep deprivation, it is easy to have memory loss, may also lead to old age. Dementia, increased incidence.

Alzheimer's disease (Alzheimer's disease) is a common disease in the elderly, and the number of patients with Alzheimer's disease is increasing year by year as we enter an aging society. So is it just a matter of age that causes Alzheimer's disease? There are many factors that cause Alzheimer's disease, and subjective and objective factors are not the only sources that cause the disease.
Many factors are associated with the onset of the disease, and aging is the primary predisposing factor for Alzheimer's disease. The study found that after the age of 60, the prevalence of Alzheimer's disease doubled for every 5 years of age. With the aging of the population in recent years, the incidence of Alzheimer's disease has been exacerbated.
High blood pressure, arteriosclerosis, diabetes, stroke and other disease elements. These diseases are caused by the poor diet of ordinary patients, and such diseases are highly prevalence in modern people. Nowadays, life expectancy has increased, and there are more elderly people, so it is natural that dementia will appear.
Genetic mutations play a decisive role in the onset of Alzheimer's disease. The need emphasizes that the majority of Alzheimer's disease is not hereditary, but distributive, that is, the genetic element is not absolute, but people with dementia in the family should be vigilant. High levels of aluminum, high cholesterol, and alcoholism are all predisposing factors for Alzheimer's disease.
With the aggravation of social pollution, people smoke and drink too much. Forcing more and more people to suffer from Alzheimer's disease. The onset of the disease is often related to low level of education, lack of use of brains, introversion, reluctance to contact with people, and poor lifestyle.
In addition, low levels of estrogen in women after menopause may also be associated with dementia. This is one of the predisposing factors of Alzheimer's disease.
In addition to unavoidable genetics, aging and other factors. Unhealthy lifestyle and eating habits are the biggest cause of illness. Patients are encouraged to develop good habits of life.
The elderly need to change these two states, and need to enhance self-cultivation, and the way of self-cultivation is to learn from time to time. Elderly friends, have something to do and stay away from Alzheimer's.
-
Because many people now have greater psychological pressure, and unhealthy lifestyles also lead to their susceptibility to Alzheimer's; As many people age, the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems will become very fragile, which is easy to cause stroke, thus becoming Alzheimer's disease.
-
Related to people's living habits, some elderly people have high blood pressure or arteriosclerosis, these diseases will increase the chance of Alzheimer's disease, and sometimes smoking and alcohol will cause Alzheimer's disease.
-
The main reason is that people nowadays lack exercise, and when they reach old age, they don't think about problems, so there are more and more of them.

Alzheimer's disease is a relatively common senile degenerative disease, divided into several types, the most common is Alzheimer's disease, followed by dementia caused by various degenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's disease, motor neuron disease, etc., and some dementia is related to cerebrovascular. There are three core symptoms of dementia:
The first, memory loss, almost all patients will have significant memory loss. Of course, memory loss alone cannot diagnose Alzheimer's disease, because the elderly themselves will have different degrees of memory loss in the former Cong's after old age. The decline must have seriously and obviously affected the life, work, and daily social interaction of the elderly, which is pathological;
Second, there must be psychiatric symptoms, almost all Alzheimer's diseases have more or less psychiatric symptoms, such as paranoia, hallucinations, depression, anxiety, so psychiatric symptoms are the second major manifestation of Alzheimer's disease;
Third, abnormal behavior, some books or materials also classify abnormal behavior as mental abnormality, and abnormal behavior is mainly manifested as abnormal behavior that does not conform to the scene, does not conform to identity, and does not conform to age group, such as open defecation, rude language, swearing, or various behaviors that do not conform to common sense, such as collecting garbage.
In addition to these three main symptoms, there can also be motor symptoms, sensory symptoms, and symptoms of swallowing and swallowing. All in all, Alzheimer's disease is a type of memory loss, mental abnormality, and behavioral abnormality.
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. >>>More
The brain of the elderly will atrophy, but the brain atrophy of elderly patients with dementia will have extensive diffuse brain atrophy, and its weight is significantly lower than that of the normal elderly brain; sulci are markedly widened and the brain parenchyma is markedly narrowed, especially in the temporal, prefrontal, and parietal lobes; The ventricles and lateral ventricles are abnormally enlarged, which are significantly larger than those of normal elderly people, CT examination is obvious, and the hippocampal atrophy is obvious, and the lesions can be found to have obvious age spots, neurofibrillary tangles and neuronal reduction.
There will be a lot of psychological changes, and if there is such a situation in the elderly, the IQ of the elderly will return to when they were children. I always say some confused things in my daily life. And the heart will become very immature, if you go out, you won't be able to recognize home at all. >>>More
Cerebellar atrophy has different consequences depending on the situation. If it is normal cerebellar atrophy, it is due to the reduction of brain volume and brain weight with age, which is normal aging and generally does not cause Alzheimer's disease. Senile dementia occurs when the patient has a degenerative disease with significant atrophy of the brain and cerebellum, temporal lobe, and whole brain. >>>More
Cerebellar atrophy does not directly lead to Alzheimer's disease. >>>More
