Izimo eziningi zitholakale ukwandisa ingozi yokugula komzimba , okubandakanya isifo sikashukela, isifo senhliziyo , ukudla okunempilo , ukungabi nokusebenza komzimba nokuguga. Manje, abacwaningi bathole enye into e- Alzheimer kanye nezinye izinhlobo zobungozi be-dementia: umncintiswano wethu.
Sivame ukusho ukuthi ukushaywa komqondo okungahloswe ngu-dementia akusho ukubandlulula, okusho ukuthi akugcini nje ukweqa amaqembu athile abantu, kuphela ukushaya labo abanezici ezithile.
Kodwa-ke, lapho izinombolo zibhekwa ngokucophelela, ukukhubazeka komzimba kubonakala sengathi kushaya amanye amaqembu kunzima kwabanye. Nasi isifingqo salokho izifundo eziningi eziphelile ngokuphathelene nomjaho kanye nomngcipheko we-dementia:
Ngokusho kocwaningo olwanyatheliswa ngo-2016, abantu base-Afrika baseMelika banomngcipheko omkhulu kakhulu we-dementi- amaphesenti angu-38 kuneminyaka engama-25 ubudala eqala eneminyaka engama-65. Balandelwa iqembu lamaNdiya lamaNdiya / ama-Alaska ngamaphesenti angu-35, iLatinos ngamaphesenti angu-32 , ePacific Iziqhingi ezingamaphesenti angu-25, abamhlophe ngamaphesenti angu-30, nabase-Asia baseMelika ngamaphesenti angu-28.
Ucwaningo olushicilelwe ngo-2013 lwaphetha ngokuthi, uma kuqhathaniswa nomhlophe, abantu base-Afrika baseMelika base bevame ukuthuthukisa i-Alzheimer's, kabili kuyilapho ama-Hispanics ayengamathuba amaningi okuphindwe kabili.
Ukwengeza, kubonakala sengathi kunezindleko ezingalingani ezihlobene nomqondo owohloka komqondo wezinhlanga ezahlukene. Ngokwesibonelo, i- African American Network Against Alzheimer ithi "ngenkathi ama-Afrika aseMelika enza amaphesenti angu-13,6 we-USpopulation, athatha ingxenye eyodwa kwezintathu (33%) zezindleko zesizwe eziphelele ze-Alzheimer's nezinye dementia"
Kungani Lezi Izingxabano Zikhona?
Nakuba izici zofuzo zingandisa ingozi ye-Alzheimer's, izifundo eziningi zibuke ubuhlanga kanye nezakhi zofuzo futhi azitholanga ukuhlanganiswa okucacile phakathi kwalezi zici kanye nomngcipheko we-dementia. Nokho, abacwaningi bathole uxhumano phakathi kwezimo ezithile zempilo, ubuhlanga, kanye nengozi yokukhubazeka kwengqondo.
Lokhu kufaka:
Ukucindezelwa Kwegazi Eliphakeme
Ucwaningo oluthile lubonise ukuxhumana phakathi kwengcindezi ephezulu yegazi nomngcipheko wokwanda kwengqondo. Ezinye izifundo ziye zaphetha ngokuthi abase-Afrika baseMelika bangaphezu kwamhlophe noma ama-Hispanics abe nomfutho wegazi ophakeme, ngaleyo ndlela babeka engozini enkulu yokudangala komqondo.
Isifo sikashukela
Uhlobo lwesifo sikashukela sesi-2 luye lwahlotshaniswa ngokuphindaphindiwe nengozi ephezulu yokuwohloka komqondo. Eqinisweni, kukhona uxhumano oluqinile kangangokuthi abanye abacwaningi babiza isifo sikashukela sika-Alzheimer " uhlobo lwesifo sikashukela sohlobo lwesithathu ." Bobabili base-Afrika baseMelika nama-Hispanics banesifo esiyisifo sikashukela esiphezulu uma kuqhathaniswa nabaChristian.
Ucwaningo luye lwathola ukuthi abase-Afrika baseMelika baseMelika nabamaMelika base-type 2 abanesifo sikashukela banomngcipheko ophezulu wesifo sengqondo sikashukela ongaphezu kuka-40-60.
Isibungu
AbaseMelika baseMelika basengozini engaphezu kuka-2.7 eyingozi kakhulu yokushaywa yisifo sohlangothi, okuyinto ehlobene nengozi eyingozi yokudemeka kwengqondo - ngokuvamile isisulu emvelweni.
Izinga lezemfundo namaholo
I-Alzheimer's Association yaveza izingozi ezintathu ezihlobene nengozi enkulu yokudemeka kwengqondo kuhlanganise nokuhlala ezindaweni zasemaphandleni, izinga lemfundo ephansi kanye nezinga eliphansi lokuthola imali. Bathola nokuthi ama-Afrika aseMelika nama-Hispanics bebanamathuba amaningi okuba nemfundo ephansi kanye nenzuzo engenayo, ngaleyo ndlela bebeka engozini eyengeziwe yokuthuthukisa u-dementia.
Yini Engayenza Ngalesi Sici?
1) Khuluma Up!
Khulisa ukuqwashisa. Khuluma nomakhelwane wakho. Tshela indaba yakho. I-dementia akuyona into okufanele ifihliwe noma ihlanjululwe, futhi nalokhu kungavumelani nengozini yokuwohloka komqondo ngokusekelwe ebuzwe.
2) Ukuzivocavoca ngezivivinyo zemitholampilo
Sidinga abantu abaningi kusuka ezizindaweni ezincane ukuze bahlanganyele ekuhlolweni kwemitholampilo nakwezinye izifundo zocwaningo. Ucwaningo oluningi luqukethe abantu abanobuhlobo obuncane. Ungabona uhlu lwezilingo zomtholampilo lapha ku-TrialMatch, isevisi ye-Alzheimer's Association.
3) Yiya ku-Screenings njalo
I-Medicare ihlanganisa-ngaphandle kwezindleko kuwe-ukuhlolwa kweminyaka emihle, futhi lokhu kungabandakanya ukuhlolwa nokuhlolwa kokuqaphela kwakho kwezimpawu zesifo somqondo.
Qinisekisa ukuthi utshele udokotela wakho uma ukhathazekile ngememori yakho (noma eyomthandayo). Ukutholakala kokuqala kuyasiza kakhulu . Ivumela ukuxilongwa nokuphathwa kwemibandela engabangela ukulahlekelwa inkumbulo nokudideka kodwa ingaguqulwa uma ibanjwa futhi iphathwa. Futhi kungavumela ukuthi kungaphambilini (futhi mhlawumbe ngempumelelo kakhulu) ukwelashwa kwe-Alzheimer kanye nezinye izinhlobo zokuwohloka komqondo.
4) Ukugqugquzela izinsizakalo nezinhlelo zokusekela ngamasiko ezinkambiso
Ukuqeqesha ngokwenza amasiko kusiza ukuqinisekisa ukuthi izinsizakalo zezempilo zinikwe ngendlela ehlonipha ukuhlukahluka futhi kukhuthaza ubuholi obuncane kanye nokubamba iqhaza.
