Senile dementia, sometimes called senile dementia, is a disease that impairs brain function on several levels. Changes in brain tissue caused by dementia are degenerative, degenerative and atrophic in nature. Symptoms of dementia that worsen as the disease progresses include: memory problems, but also, for example, speech or counting disorders.

New dementia research

According to The Guardian, nearly 4 million people around the world suffer from symptoms of dementia before the age of 65. In some people, symptoms may appear even in their 30s. Then we talk about young-onset dementia. Scientists from the University of Exeter in the United Kingdom and Maastricht University in the Netherlands examined what may influence a person's predisposition to developing early dementia, including genetic factors, lifestyle, and environment. 350,000 people participated in the experiment. People under 65 years of age.

During the study, which was described in the academic journal JAMA Neurology, 15 factors were identified that significantly increase the risk of developing the disease. These included: low level of education, low socioeconomic status, vitamin D deficiency, hearing impairment, depression, alcohol abuse, and social isolation.

Sebastian Köhler, a professor of neuroepidemiology at Maastricht University and one of the lead authors of the study, said the trial showed that people who developed dementia in old age noticed that there were a number of modifiable risk factors.

“In addition to physical factors, mental health also plays an important role, including avoiding chronic stress, loneliness and depression. I was surprised to see this also in early dementia and it may provide opportunities to reduce risk in this group as well.” — The Guardian reported his words.

Dr. Henriette Hendricks from Maastricht University in the Netherlands says that to reduce the risk of developing dementia at an early age, you should: follow a healthy diet and quit smoking.

Dr Janice Ranson, researcher at the University of Exeter. Dr Leah Morslin, director of clinical research at Alzheimer's Research UK, which co-funded the study, said the study provides new opportunities to find out how the risk of developing dementia at an early age can be reduced.

Researchers agree that it is necessary to further analyze risk factors and address modifiable factors, as this may be effective in reducing the risk of developing dementia at an early age.
