Patient's question:
My uncle has been forgetting things lately, even when we put things in front of him, he still asks us where they are? Sometimes he forgets the names of acquaintances. At first, we didn't think much of it, but over time, we took him to the hospital for a check-up, and it was diagnosed as Alzheimer's disease. I'd like to ask what are the dangers of Alzheimer's disease?Doctor's answer:
Alzheimer's disease, also known as senile dementia, primarily poses a threat through progressive neurodegeneration. Early symptoms include forgetfulness and memory decline, while middle and late stages manifest as severe neurological inflammation, such as dementia and the inability to live independently. It is important to take preventive measures against the disease, mainly by engaging in mental activities, regular exercise, and social interaction. Older adults can cultivate their own hobbies and invest their spirits in meaningful pursuits.
