Neurologist shares why dementia rates are rising and how to reduce risk

Dementia cases continue to grow in the United States, people over the age of 55 are at risk of developing this condition in their lifetime.

A recent study led by John Hopkins was predicted in 2025 in 2025 and one million forecasts every year by 2060.

This does not mean that people are powerless to reduce their risk, but according to Dr. Joel Salinas, a behavioral neurologist and associate professor at the NYU Gransman School of Medicine.

Salinus joined Fox News Digital in an interview with Salinus on-Camera to discuss what spike is running in the Dementia case and how behavioral changes can provide some cognitive protection. (Watch the video on top of the article))

Dementia driver

One of the biggest causes of this growth is demographic, mentioned salinus, who is also co-founder and chief medical officer of virtual memory clinic Isaac Health for brain health and memory problems.

He told Fox News Digital, “Baby Boomer is one of the largest groups, it is also the fastest age group.” “Since we got more baby boomers – not just more than 65, between the 70s and 80s – we are watching some more cognitive weakness due to the overwhelming reasons.”

Age is actually the biggest risk, he mentioned.

“After the age of 65, our risk began to increase. We are almost one of the three in our 80s until the time of our 80s,” he said. “And then after 85, it starts to rise higher, one of the two in about two.”

“We know that people who don’t have a lot of social busyness are at high risk.”

The epidemic can also play a role, the neurologist says.

“It is still understood, but it looks like Covid -1 also affected the blood vessels of the body and brain,” he said. “So people who already had weaknesses for dementia development could have their acceleration or previous presentation.”

Studies also prove that loneliness and social isolation can increase the risk of cognitive degradation.

“We know that people who do not have a lot of social busyness are at high risk,” said Salinus.

“You know, chicken or eggs – it you know that you are developing this disease and you are presenting earlier with signs of loneliness than others, or what is it loneliness and social isolation that increases your risk?

The neurologist says that there is a genetic element of the monument, but the good news is rare.

“If you think about risk and protective factors like a lead, these rare genetic mutations can exceed your protective something, but the great thing is that they do not have these risks,” he said.

“So you probably have genetic risk that can be excluded by some of the protective factors” “

Risk

A large survey published last year in Lancet found that almost half of the dementia cases are possible preventable with life changes.

Salinas says there are various reasons for being at the top of the list of proper nutrition and practice.

According to the neurologist, adding hearing reduction using hearing assistance can help maintain dementia as socially employed.

Smoking and restrict alcohol consumption can also increase resistance, such as adequate quality sleep.

Salinas said that entering a certain stage called “slow wave” or “Stage Three” helps clean the poisonous protein in the brain.

“If someone has sleeping problems we send them to a sleeping expert to do proper examination,” he said. “Obstructive slip apnea, which affects a common sleep disorder, blood pressure, heart disease and brain health and it is something that is treated” “

With any healthy behavior, what is continuity.

Salinas said, “It is about keeping the differences in your favor that you will delay the onset of one of these conditions or delay the onset of at least symptoms,” Salinus said.

“It is not too late to accept these, but whenever you start it, the more you are with them, the bigger return to you” “

The initial identification key

Salinus studies quotes that 92% of light cognitive weakened people go seamlessly.

“When we really want to interfere – but most of the time, when the condition is moderate to intense, people are diagnosed.”

Although the regular impact of aging and the primary symptoms of dementia can be complicated, Salinus called some of the main differences.

“It’s about keeping the differences on your behalf that you will delay the onset of one of these conditions less or at least the onset of symptoms”

“We have more difficulty with memories and thoughts as we grow older, but it should never be that it interferes with our daily activities,” he said.

It is normal to feel “blips” at once, he said, forgetting your keys, being blank in the name of celebrity, or walking in a room and not remembering why you entered.

“But if you see it happen more frequently over time and it is getting worse, it is probably some of the neurodizerrative and not just normal or ordinary aging,” Salinus suggested.

To help ensure the previous diagnosis and intervention, the Salinus suggests to talk to the healthcare supplier as soon as the atmosphere is noticeable.

“It is important to take them seriously – but not all doctors or treatment providers are the same,” he warned. “A simple story we hear that is that human symptoms are dismissed.”

In this case, Salinus suggests getting the second opinion, usually from a neurological expert.

“Many more can be done to handle the symptoms in the early stages,” he said.

“And the lowest, if you have a condition that you have no cure, you will be given the power with information about your health that will help you make better decisions and plan the future.”
