Scientists from the Netherlands, representing the Medical center of Erasmus University in Rotterdam concluded that victims of dementia, Parkinson’s or stroke risk to become every second woman and every third man. The results of the study showed that, published the Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery Psychiatry.
A large-scale study lasted from 1990 to 2016, it was attended by 12 thousand people, men and women aged 45 years. In the course of the project, the doctors carefully monitor the health of all participants, tracking and fixing any changes in their health.
During the study period died more than five thousand (5291). For the moment of death 1 489 people have been diagnosed with dementia (almost 80 per cent of them suffered from Alzheimer’s disease). 1 285 people died as a result of the stroke, and 263 people became ill with Parkinson’s disease. The remaining 3260 people from the dead did not have neurological disorders.
Experts have found that women after the age of 45 years to a greater extent (compared with men) at risk for neurological disorders. In particular, it was found that for women the risk of suffering from neurological disease at this age is 48%, whereas for men it was 36%. Calculations have shown that the female sex is stronger inclined to the development of dementia.
“The representatives of the feminine gender was more prone to dementia: 25,9% compared with 13.7% in men. But men often suffer strokes at an early age,” stated the authors of the project.
For slovacek, all subjects received neurological diagnoses observed were hypertension, high cholesterol, type II diabetes, problems with heart rhythm. Thus, these symptoms can be considered prerequisites for the development of more serious diseases.
