A Research : By 2030, 78 million people will suffer from Dementia

Dementia is usually chronic or progressive in nature and results in deterioration in cognitive function beyond what would be expected from the usual consequences of biological aging. It affects memory, thinking, orientation, understanding, arithmetic, learning ability, language and judgement. Consciousness is not affected.

 

The impairment in cognitive function is often accompanied and occasionally preceded by changes in mood, emotional control, behavior, or motivation.

 

Dementia is the seventh leading cause of death and disability order among older people worldwide. Dementia has physical, psychological, social and economic implications, not only for people living with dementia, but also for their caregivers, families and society at large. Often there is a lack of awareness and understanding of dementia, leading to stigma and barriers to diagnosis and care.

 

By 2030, 78 million people will have dementia, these tips can reduce the risk by 35%. A day when the memory of someone with dementia becomes weaker, the coordination ability of the brain decreases, as a result of which the patient gets many problems. An analysis of more than 24 research published in the Lancet-Journal has shown that if some changes are made in the daily activities of the patient, the risk of dementia can be reduced by 35%, which will reach 78 million.

 

How to reduce the risk of dementia

  • Direct connection with hearing ability: Due to poor hearing, a person is reluctant to socialize. In such a situation, the coordination ability of the brain decreases. As a result, memory begins to decrease.

 

  • Keep blood pressure balanced: Due to blood pressure disorders, the heart’s ability to work increases, causing free radicals to increase. This increases stress and inflammation, which damages neurons. This affects the ability of the brain.

 

  • Controlling Diabetes: If left uncontrolled, advanced diabetes begins to reach the brain, damaging cells.5.5 million people with dementia

 

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 55 million people in the world suffer from dementia. 60% of these patients live in low- and middle-income countries. Most patients with amnesia are elderly. According to the WHO, the number of patients will increase to 78 million by 2030. At the same time, this number will reach 13.9 million by 2050.
