Alzheimer Disease: Alzheimer's is considered a disease of the elderly. But around 39 lakh people in the age group of 30-64 years are suffering from this disease in the world. This means that this disease can also happen to 30-year-old youth. According to a new study, the symptoms of Alzheimer's are different in young people. In this, they are unable to focus on anything or their body language can deteriorate. Due to this, their mental and physical ability becomes weak. The elderly have many problems due to this. However, now Indian scientists have found a 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 are there in the world?
Alzheimer's is a serious neurodegenerative disease. More than 55 million people around the world are suffering from Alzheimer's and the dementia caused by it. According to a statistic, every year more than 10 million people are falling prey to Alzheimer's and dementia.
Why Alzheimer's is dangerous
Alzheimer's is a brain disorder in which the size of the brain starts shrinking and the cells start getting destroyed. Due to this, one is not able to remember anything, think or contemplate about 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. Now Indian scientists have got a big success in the treatment of this disease.
What is the new treatment for Alzheimer's?
Scientists at Pune's Agharkar Research Center have developed new molecules for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Two scientists Prasad Kulkarni and Vinod Ugale have designed and synthesized new molecules with the help of synthetic, computational and in-vitro studies. They say 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.
