The bodies of women and men are structured differently, they have different cycles and methods of restructuring. This affects the percentage risk of developing senile dementia. But the factors are not just statistical numbers, they are clues regarding how to reduce these risks. Professor of Geriatrics Kirill Proshchaev spoke with Gazeta.Ru on this topic.
He said women are at higher risk of declining brain function to begin with. This is explained by more serious hormonal changes during life.
For example, too much menstruation leads to the fact that the brain does not receive the required amount of oxygen. Brain hypoxia can provoke a decline in cognitive function. Deal with heavy periods.
Pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, menopause are also accompanied by hormonal changes. At this time, manifestation or worsening of pre-existing diseases may occur. They do not themselves cause dementia.
“Hypertension, obesity and diabetes mellitus are themselves risk factors for developing dementia. But the reasons for the development of dementia are not the diseases themselves, but the uncontrolled parameters of these diseases,” explained Proshchaev.
This means that during such periods of life it is enough to control cholesterol and sugar levels, as well as blood pressure. And of course, take action if these levels are violated.
