Chinese senile dementia patient has already exceeded 6 million The first in the world of the ill number of people
The senile dementia patient of our country has already exceeded 6 million, the first in the world of the ill number of people. Expert call upon, old age dull-witted to need, find, diagnose, treat early early early. Women's morbidity is higher than men, patient's spiritual symptom needs special concern badly. October 13 - -At the Chung Yeung Festival, sponsored by Beijing Novartis pharmacy Co., Ltd., " the the intersection of life and Times " and the intersection of Shanghai and the intersection of " the the intersection of news and morning the intersection of newspaper and the intersection of health and weekly magazine " and " healthy day such as media " not doing jointly together On the activity, head of the department of internal medicine nerve of subsidiary Huashan hospital of Fudan University is big to shake a professor to point out: "Senile dementia has already become common disease, frequently-occurring disease in our country, the total number of patients is probably 6 million, occupy the first place in the whole world. To the masses of the elderly, senile dementia enjoy, commit the serious threat old age to the intersection of they and Ann already. If can find early, treat early, can improve the patient's life quality, lengthen the life-span. " There is the old age dull-wittedly" Four no " Senile dementia is also called Alzheimer's disease, has already become the fourth leading killer of the elderly's following cardiovascular vessel disease, malignant tumour, brain apoplexy now. This disease is a kind of primary regression encephalopathy, take place in senescence phase and old age earlier stage, and increase and increase with age at double, over 60 every year, the ill rate is 4%- 8%, rise to 10% 65 years old later, will exceed 30% 80 years old later. And the dull-witted patient of Chinese old age counts and shows a tendency to rise notably, according to statistics, the total number of patients is nearly 6 million at present, occupy first place in the world, about 1/4 in the global patient are in China. "Unfortunately, Chinese 15% come hospital go to a doctor only in the patient, because ordinary people scarce to know to senile dementia mainly, thought by mistake it is always confused. " Big to shake professor, say " actually getting old may not on confused, but senile dementia so simple definitely too. " Big to shake professor, point out senile dementia have much symptom of briefing on etc., find they help doctor realize, diagnose, treat early early, it gets on very well to be briefly " Four no " : First, can not remember working, mainly display nearly memory and fail, the patient usually remembers the thing in early years clearly, but forgot thoroughly if saying just now; It is counted second, unclear, in daily life very little account is unclear or will not be calculated; Third, can't know the way, leaving home will find the door; Fourth, can't speak clearly sentences, patient's thinking is poor, the speech is dull, talk to oneself sometimes, tell some thing repeatedly; In addition, the patients' personalities and emotion will all change to some extent, some people are originally very optimistic, becoming suspicious, some people are originally very gentle, become very irritable. Two kinds of group's dementia need to especially pay close attention to the fact that big that shake a professor to point out, if find the elder person around presents the above-mentioned symptom, must not adopt a casual attitude. There were in 3- 5 more natural courses of disease after diagnosis of senile dementia, namely develop not to take care of oneself at all, present many kinds of complications until dying. But if find the earlier, the earlier treat, the longer the patient's life-span is. Because many patients originally have hypertension, diabetes, apoplexy, hyperlipemia,etc., watch out for even more. Big to shake a professor to emphasize, in the dull-witted patient, the crowd especially needs us to pay close attention as follows. Women patient, though the reason does not have clear explanation, the dull-witted ill rate of women's old age is really higher than men, and with the increase of age, this kind of trend is more obvious. "Old women are playing an enormous role in the family, some empty nest families rely on the old lady to manage housework, it is the whole family's definite view. " Big to shake professor, say " women dull-witted to need, cause attention of masses extremely old age have, not only because the morbidity is high, but also also concern the spouse even happiness of the whole family because of their health. " Regard spiritual symptom as the patient that mainly displays. "It is not only ' always confused ' to be dull-witted in some old age, also there is a spiritual symptom, for example some are shown as ' killed vainlying hope ', if always suspect others speak ill of him; Some will present illusion, describe vividly that there is not what happened at all; Other to stroll about in the room at night. " Big to shake a professor to point out, these symptoms, heavier patient's family's economy and mental burden, the therapeutic difficulty is greater too. Manage old age to be dull-witted to want, work along both lines big to shake professor, point out old age dull-witted to remain first disease that can't effect a radical cure at present, the present medicine mainly lays particular emphasis on and relieves the condition, improves symptom. Because the dull-witted cause of disease of old age may relate to reducing in acetyl choline level of the brain, and acetyl choline passes esterase supersession of choline, so inhibit choline esterase, contribute to improving the acetyl choline level, relieve old age dull-witted symptom. Except drug therapy, big to shake professor, point out, change life style to be very much important even. For example, the patient should pay attention to being diligent in moving the brain, science does exercises. In addition big to shake professor, emphasize responsibility of children too: "As the saying goes, the family is old if has a treasure. How to let this treasure of home enjoy the happy evening scene? As children, should spend time accompanying the old man more, also want the flowery attention on them. " (China smells)
