Alzheimer Disease: Alzheimer’s is considered a disease of the elderly. But around 39 lakh people in the age group of 30-64 years in the world are affected by this disease. Meaning, this disease can happen even to youth of 30 years. According to a new study, the symptoms of Alzheimer’s are different in youth. In this, they are unable to concentrate on anything or their body language may deteriorate. Because of this their mental and physical abilities become weak. Elderly people face many problems due to this. However, now Indian scientists have found the cure for this disease. In such a situation, let us know what is Alzheimer’s, how many patients are there and what is its new treatment…
How many Alzheimer’s patients in the world
Alzheimer’s is a serious neurodegenerative disease. More than 5.5 crore people all over the world are suffering from Alzheimer’s and the dementia caused by it. According to statistics, every year more than 1 crore people are falling prey to Alzheimer’s and dementia.
Why is Alzheimer’s dangerous
Alzheimer’s is a disorder related to the brain, in which the size of the brain starts shrinking and the cells start getting destroyed. Due to this condition, it is not possible to remember anything, think or reflect on anything. In severe cases of Alzheimer’s, there is a risk of dementia. Some medicines are taken to reduce its symptoms and avoid the problems caused by it. Indian scientists have now achieved great success in the treatment of this disease.
What is the new treatment for Alzheimer’s?
Scientists at Agharkar Research Center, Pune have developed new molecules for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Two scientists, Prasad Kulkarni and Vinod Ugle, have designed and synthesized new molecules with the help of synthetic, computational and in-vitro studies. He says that these molecules are non-toxic and can be effective in the treatment of Alzheimer’s. Scientists have found that these molecules are effective against cholinesterase enzymes. Medicines can be made using them, which can be effective in curing this disease.
Make lifestyle changes to cure Alzheimer’s
Another study conducted in Australia has found that Alzheimer’s patients should focus on improving their diet and lifestyle. They should exercise regularly. Apart from this, being social, reading, dancing, playing games or playing any musical instrument can also be helpful in reducing the risk of this serious disease.
