How are the longevity and Alzheimer's disease?
In long-lived families, dementia occurs later and in fewer cases! Although the reason for the later development of dementia in very old people is not entirely clear, experts believe that in such families there may be a certain genetic code associated with the best cognitive abilities.
According to the results of a new study, the dementia is much later arises in long-lived families. Although ultimately the same percentage of people from families living for more than 90 years are the potential victims of Alzheimer's disease (BA), as well as people with a shorter life expectancy, this disease develops at a later age, experts say.
"With this study, we wanted to check whether members of long-lived families are truly" defended "from Alzheimer's disease," said the author of the study and Professor of Neuropsychology of the Medical Center of the Columbia University Stephanie Kostino.
The results of the study showed that the answer to this question is positive - in long-lived families, dementia arises later and in fewer cases!
Although the reason for the late formation of dementia in the elderly is not entirely clear, Consienino says that some genetic code may be present, which is associated with the best cognitive abilities in such families. Ba - the most common cause of dementia in the elderly.
For the purposes of this American-Danish study of longevity in the family, experts were observed for more than 1800 entities (1510 family members and 360 spouses as control subjects) and analyzed the genetic and non-mental factors associated with longevity.
In the current report, published in the online release of Jama Neurology magazine, they focused on the occurrence of BA from blood relatives in a long-lived family and compared data with their spouses.
Senior family members, an average of 88 years old, had the same level of mental violations as their spouses. Nevertheless, sons and daughters of people who lived for a very long time, on average, about 70 years old had a twice greater risk of developing Ba than their spouses of the same age confirmed to consightino.
"In general, at the age of 90 years, more members of long-lived families have good cognitive abilities than their spouses. After 95 years old who lived for a very long time, was observed by dementia, which indicates a late weakening of mental functions in families where longevity reigns," - Notes Consienino.
The study showed that BA developed in 38.5% of respondents, and the risk was slightly lower in men and women who were members of long-lived families, compared with their partners. In addition, the risk was even lower in sons and daughters, but it was not transferred to nephews and niece, as the research results showed.
Experts note that other studies have shown a similar "protective effect" of longevity in the family, as well as in relation to heart disease and cancer. Looking for wife in Ukraine? Best Ukrainian single dating website on https://sweetydate.com find your love online! Free Credits for chat.
