I-Alzheimer's Numbers
Isifo se-Alzheimer kunye nesifo sengqondo esifanelekileyo sichaphazela ngaphezu kwezigidi ezi-5 zaseMerika. Umntu omnye kwabadala abathandathu ubudala unesifo se-Alzheimer-yesithandathu esibangela ukufa e-United States kunye nezona zinto ezilishumi kuphela ezibangelwa ukufa ngaphandle kokonyango olufanelekileyo okanye ukuthintela. Ngoko ngubani owenza i-5+ yezigidi?
Abafazi okanye Amadoda?
Malunga ne-2/3 yezigidi ezi-5 zabantu abane-Alzheimer bafazi.
Ngokombutho we-Alzheimer's Association, "ama-16 ekhulwini kwabasetyhini abaneminyaka engama-71 nangaphezulu banesifo se-Alzheimer okanye esinye isifo se-dementias, xa kuthelekiswa nama-11 ekhulwini amadoda."
Ngaba oko kuthetha ukuba abafazi banako ukuphuhlisa i-Alzheimer's? Isayensi ixutywe. Abanye abaphandi bakholelwa ukuba abafazi bayenza ipesenteji enkulu yalabo abane-Alzheimer ngoba bahlala ixesha elide, kungekhona ngenxa yokuba banako ukuphuhlisa i-Alzheimer's. Nangona kunjalo, olunye uphando lucebise ukuba abafazi bangasengozini kakhulu kwiinguqu kwiingqondo kunye nokuncipha kwengqondo.

Ubudala
Umngcipheko omkhulu wokuphuhlisa i-Alzheimer's age, kuba njengabantu abaneminyaka yobudala, banakho amathuba okuphuhlisa i-Alzheimer's. Phantse enye kwisithathu yabangaphezu kweminyaka eyi-85 i-Alzheimer's. Ukongezelela, malunga nabantu abangama-200 000 abangaphantsi kwe-65 banokuqala ukuhlaziya i-Alzheimer's .
Isiganeko
Ngokutsho kwe-Alzheimer's Association, iziganeko (inani lamatyala amatsha) we-Alzheimer ngaphezu kwexesha lonyaka liyakwandisa kakhulu ngobudala.
Kukho amacala amatsha ama-53 e-Alzheimer abantu abayi-1 000 abaneminyaka yobudala engama-65 ukuya ku-74, ama-170 amatyala amatsha kulabo abaneminyaka yobudala engama-75 ukuya ku-84, kunye ne-231 entsha yokuxilongwa ngabantu abayi-1000 abangaphezu kweminyaka engama-85 ubudala.
Ukuxilongwa
Phantse isiqingatha (45%) yabantu abanomdla wokugula ngengqondo kunye nabanakekeli babo bachaza ukuba abazange baxelelwe malunga nokuxilongwa kwabo .
Uhlanga
Abangewona abamhlophe be-Hispanics kunye nabase-Afrika baseMelika banakho amathuba okuphuhlisa i-Alzheimer kunabamhlophe. Uphando lubonisa ukuba le ntlukwano ibangelwa ngenxa yeemeko zempilo ezifana nokunyuswa kwengcinezelo yegazi kunye nesifo sikashukela, kunye namanqanaba emfundo. Uphando lubonisa ukuba baninzi abantu abane-Alzheimer abangaboniyo abangabamhlophe, bakhulisa iingxaki ngenxa yokungabikho kwezibonelelo ekuxilongweni kwangaphambili .
Iindleko
EUnited States ngo-2015, kulinganiselwa ukuba iindleko zokunyamekela abantu abane-Alzheimer iya kuba malunga needola ezingama-226 zezigidigidi, ezigidi eziyi-154 zamaRandi eziya kuhlawulwa yi-Medicare neMedicaid.
Abanakekeli
Abantu abangaba zigidi ezili-15 abanabanakekeli abangabhatalwa ngabanye abanesifo se-Alzheimers, kwaye malunga no-60% walabo banyamekeleyo ngabasetyhini. Abaninzi abanonophelo bangaphezu kweminyaka engama-65 kwaye banokuba neengxaki zabo zempilo; abanye bancinci kwaye banakekele isizukulwana esidala kunye nabantwana babo. Laba bantu banonophelo babedluliselwa ngokuthi "isizukulwana sesandwich."
Phantse i-40% yabanakekeli bachaza iimvakalelo zokudakumba, kwaye i-60% yazo inokulinganisela ukunyamekela.
Iingcali ziqikelela ukuba abantu abayi-800,000 abayizigidi zabantu abane-Alzheimer's disease bahlala bodwa, kwaye malunga nesiqingatha sazo bantu abanomncedisi.
Izinto ozilindile emhlabane
Ngokomyinge, abantu abane-Alzheimer bahlala iminyaka eyisibhozo ukuya kwiminyaka eyi-10 emva kokuxilongwa, kodwa eso sifo sinokuqhubela phambili kwiminyaka emibili ukuya kwe-20. Ngokombutho we-Alzheimer's Association, umntu omnye kwabadala abathathu ufa nge-Alzheimer okanye olunye uhlobo lwesifo sengqondo sokugula komzimba.
Ngamaxesha amaninzi umntu unokuhlakulela i-Alzheimer's?
Ngokomyinge, yonke imizuzwana engu-68, umntu wase-United States ukhulisa i-Alzheimer's. Ngo-2050, umntu uza kuhlakulela isifo se-Alzheimer yonke imizuzwana engama-33.
Labantu belizwe
Kulinganiselwa ukuba abantu abayizigidi ezingama-36 ngoku bahlala kunye ne-Alzheimer's, kwaye ukuba iirhafu zamanje ziqhubeka, abantu abayizigidi ezingama-66 emhlabeni jikelele baya kuba nesifo se-Alzheimer ngo-2030.
