Doctors predict an increase in the number of patients with dementia tripled to 2050, the total number will be 115, 4 million according to the WHO. Every year on the care of people with dementia and their attempts to cure spent more than $ 604 billion. Completely cure a person with this diagnosis can not yet, so I have to try to reduce the risk of developing the disease by maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
The team analyzed the medical records of 1,958,191 patients in the last twenty years. Age of patients - from 45 to 66 years, mean 55 years. Dementia was found in 45 507 people. Compared to people whose weight is within the healthy norm, people with reduced weight are at risk of ill dementia 34% higher. But people whose weight higher than normal risk of developing the disease reduced. Body mass index of 40 or higher (for obesity) dementia occurs less frequently at 29%.
"Yes, it's a surprise," - said the head of the research team doctor Navam Kvizilbash. In BBC interview, he noted that this study was carried out with the highest accuracy and most sample when compared with any other investigation this problem.
Precise explanation there are no results. There is an assumption that the development of dementia affects lack of vitamins D and E, which are available in the food. The more a person eats - the more of these vitamins gets.
But doctors do not advise lean on drinks and sweets: even if you are overweight and help from dementia, he can not live long enough to enjoy the benefits. Because you have to remember about cardiovascular disease, stroke, diabetes and cancer, which are associated with being overweight.
