Prevention of Alzheimer's disease, starting from adolescence ...

"Do you know what Alzheimer's disease (AD)?"
After a moment of silence.

Controlling controllable risk factors is the key to Professor Cui Mei, because AD lacks effective treatment methods and the disease development is irreversible, so early prevention is particularly important
.

Focus on these 6 aspects mentioned above, AD risk factors are divided into non-intervenable risk factors and interoperable risk factors, then, interoperable risk factors are our focus, in this regard, Professor Cui Mei briefly introduced 6 aspects: 1.

Prevention of AD

From adolescence in the eyes of most people, AD is a disease that occurs in human old age and is closely related to aging, but Professor Cui Mei introduced to us: "At present, the academic community believes that AD prevention can be as early as adolescence
.

The focus is on the multiple prevention strategies for controllable risk factors described above in high-risk populations, all based on clinical recommendations
from evidence-based medicine.

 
Finally, we asked Professor Cui Mei for advice on the value of AD prevention for individuals, families and society, Professor Cui Mei said that once a person suffers from AD, symptoms such as memory decline and life ability decline will gradually worsen, and progress to the later stage of lack of self-awareness, inability to independently carry out normal life activities, and need personal care
from caregivers.
