These are the top 10 signs of Alzheimer's disease. The earlier you discover them, the better!

Alzheimer's disease , commonly known as "senile dementia", is a neurodegenerative disease and the most common type of dementia.

With the deepening of aging population, my country has become the country with the largest number of Alzheimer's disease patients in the world, with nearly 10 million current patients, and it is estimated that the number will reach 30 million by 2030.

So, what are the characteristics before the onset of Alzheimer's disease?

In the thirties and forties, there may be pathological changes

Early intervention is key. Alzheimer's disease is a continuum of disease that progresses slowly . The preclinical phase may be asymptomatic, followed by mild memory loss and then dementia.

What needs attention is:

It is now clear that the pathological changes of Alzheimer's disease appear 10 to 20 years before cognitive function declines , that is, when a person is in his thirties or forties, the pathological changes of Alzheimer's disease may have already begun in the brain. This stage is called the first stage of Alzheimer's disease, which is asymptomatic and often difficult to detect .

Therefore, starting from our twenties, we should begin to consciously prevent Alzheimer's disease and always pay attention to our physical and psychological changes.

Only by intervening in the early stages of the disease can the course of the disease be paused. In the middle and late stages of the disease, the treatment effect will be greatly reduced, and the patient may have difficulty taking care of himself, which is a heavy burden on the family and society.

Currently, Alzheimer's disease can be detected and diagnosed in the early stages of dementia through cerebrospinal fluid, PET, hematology and other methods .

Although there is currently no drug that can cure Alzheimer's disease, some new drugs have been proven through scientific experiments and clinical trials in the past two years to be able to slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease and improve the quality of life of patients and their families.
