Alzheimer's <\/strong>It is a disease caused by the deterioration of the function and structure of brain tissue.Often found in the elderly<\/strong> But it is a deterioration thatCaused by the body's inability to eliminate protein waste.<\/strong> (Beta-amyloid and Tau protein) To leave the brain normally, it causes clumping (Plaque) and tangle.<\/strong> (Tangles) which from accumulation Such accumulated waste in the brain will go away.Disrupting communication in the brain<\/strong> Make the message Acetylcholine nerve (Acetylcholine) that has a direct effect on memory decline<\/strong> And if there is chronic brain inflammation (Chronic brain inflammation) In the long term, it will cause damage to brain cells.<\/strong> The brain tissue atrophies to the point where it can eventually cause dementia.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most common symptom is forgetfulness. This is because the deterioration gradually starts in the hippocampus. that plays a role in remembering new information (short-term memory) and then spreads to other parts of the brain, affecting learning feelings, thoughts, language, and behavior throughout the entire period From first diagnosis to death is on average 8-10 years.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In the present era, the birth rateAlzheimer's disease tends to increase<\/strong> continuously It also occurs in people with a lower average age. which patients with Alzheimer's disease since Diseases in the medium term onwards often require "rely on"<\/strong> Very tall family members Take a good look at it. Around us, there are starting to be more and more people with Alzheimer's symptoms.<\/strong> slowly and the more Thailand we are moving towards \u201cElderly society\u201d<\/strong> This disease is therefore considered It is another important social problem.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Risk factors that we cannot control <\/strong>namely age, gender, and genetics.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Risk factors that we can control<\/strong> is the risk from various chronic diseases, such as people with diabetes being at risk Alzheimer's increases 2.5 times in people who smoke. Drinking alcohol regularly has an increased risk 30% and in people who are obese. High blood pressure, depression, and people who do not exercise (Sedentary) were also found to be at risk of having Alzheimer's disease can also increase.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

APOE genetic prediction<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Until now We still cannot conclude that Which one is it? "Direct cause"<\/strong> of Alzheimer's disease, but... we found genes that are "Indirect cause"<\/strong> To addRisk<\/strong> of Alzheimer's disease<\/strong>It's called Apolipoprotein E (Apolipoprotein E: APOE), which stands for APOE. It has many functions. In the process of energy metabolism at the cellular level, protein synthesis excretion of waste and the process of transporting fat and cholesterol<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBecause APOE stands, it can be inherited. and genetic factors It may affect up to 80%.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

genetic testing <\/strong>(Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) is therefore more important. ApoE testing can be used to predict risk<\/strong>Before symptoms appear4 (Predictive testing), especially family members of the patientAlzheimer's <\/strong>To use to assess risk levels Plan defense The frequency of screening, surveillance, and guidance on behavior can be improved.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
