A group of researchers Harvard University (USA) has identified almost twenty factors The risk of dementia and other brain disordersAnd according to their results, they can prevent them all.
In the study, published Neurological, neurological surgery and psychiatric magazineThe authors analyzed earlier research on dementia, stroke and depression in old age and found that at least two disorders could occur Changed risk factors.
Las High risks Conditions and lifestyle problems such as diabetes, high cholesterol, alcohol consumption, obesity or sleep loss and audition.
Researchers have described their inventions “Confident” They believe that they may help reduce aging rates, stroke and depression in the population.

“And as they share this exaggerated risk factors, preventive efforts can lead to a reduction in more than one event in these diseases, which offers an opportunity Reduce the load Age -related brain diseases, “Says Senf.
Researchers analyzed 37 articles. Of these, about 36 strokes, 16 dementia and depression in two ages. Then they attached the data Identify the modified risk factorsOr change with behavior changes, shared by at least two of three diseases.
17 related risk factors cIn at least two diseases They are: blood pressure, kidney disease, fasting plasma glucose, total cholesterol, alcohol consumption, loss of food, audition, pain, physical activity, life, sleep, smoking, social commitment and stress.
Of these, researchers decided that high blood pressure and severe kidney disease They had the greatest impact In the event and load of stroke, old age and depression in old age.
Arterial hypertension damages the blood vessels of the brain, which regulates blood flow to the brain -like areas. This causes Brain cells death, What ends in dementia, especially vascular dementia.
This is one of the main causes of stroke due to damage to blood vessels, as they are more likely to be blocked. Hypertension The inner lining is weakened For arteries, it creates plague accumulation and tumors.
In addition, high blood pressure can occur Inflammation in the brain, It is believed to increase the risk of depression.
Kidney disease, on the other hand, Prevents draining toxic toxins in the body, It can damage brain cells and arteries, causing old age, stroke and depression.
Physical activity and cognitive activity are associated with the low risk of brain disorders, such as free time, such as puzzles. However, researchers say that these associations may be “Symptoms are more than reasons”People with brain disorders such as dementia are less likely to exercise or solve puzzles.
Arterial hypertension, diet and physical activity are three risk factors shared with three diseases. Researchers identified such obvious factors Satisfaction of lifeSensitive to hearing and pain.
There is too much evidence that can lead to dementia from brain changes to have a purpose in life, that is, to dementia The death of the brain cells And accumulation of toxic proteins.
That too has been shown Hearing loss It causes cognitive tension and prevents social contact, adds stress to the brain and increases the risk of old age and stroke. The absence of this connection can also affect depression.
Is also shown as chronic pain Leads to depression, Because it is restricted, it is possible to attack parts of the brain responsible for cognitive function.

There were many limitations for the study Only based on existing reviewsThat is, other risk factors are not overlooked.
