• Dementia occurs when the brain is damaged by diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease or a series of strokes
• Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia, but it is not the only reason. It is also called dementia.
• Dementia is not the name of a single disease but it is the name of a group of symptoms, which are related to brain damage. The word Dementia is made up of ‘de’ meaning without and ‘mentia’ meaning mind.
• A person also has problems in daily work and these problems increase with age.
• The disease affects one in 10 people over the age of 65 and one in four people over the age of 85. People under the age of 65 are also prone to the disease which is known as early onset Alzheimer’s. Let us study through this article what is dementia, how many types it is, what are its symptoms etc
• This disease can vary in severity from the mildest stage and in this more severe stage the person becomes completely dependent on others even for his daily activities.

THESE 5 FACTORS INCREASE THE CHANCES OF DEMENTIA:

• Age – With increasing age chances of dementia also increase. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia. The symptoms of which appear in about a third of people aged 85 years and older. While genetics also play a role, your diet, exercise, and many daily lifestyle habits also play a role.
• Heart disease – Heart disease can lead to a heart attack or stroke, which makes dementia more likely. Heart disease is usually caused by a buildup of plaque in the arteries around your heart, which is medically called atherosclerosis. This can slow blood flow to your brain and put you at risk of stroke, making it harder for you to think well or remember things
• Diabetes – Health experts are still not exactly sure why people with diabetes often get dementia. But they do know that people with diabetes are more likely to have damaged blood vessels. This can slow or block blood flow to the brain, and damage areas of the brain, known as vascular dementia. Some people may be able to slow brain decline if they keep diabetes under control with medication, exercise, and a healthy diet.
• High cholesterol levels – High levels of cholesterol, especially in middle age, are associated with obesity, high blood pressure and diabetes. All of these increase your risk of dementia. Research suggests that high cholesterol in midlife may increase the risk of Alzheimer’s disease later in life.
• High BP – High levels of blood pressure can play a role in increasing your dementia in several ways. Even if you don’t have any other health problems, having high blood pressure makes you more likely to get vascular dementia and Alzheimer’s. This is probably because high blood pressure damages the blood vessels in your brain. It can also lead to other conditions that lead to dementia, such as stroke.
