Question
Of dementia in elderly patients with diabetes and high blood pressure
Answer
August 31, according to Australian researchers reported that elderly patients with diabetes, high blood pressure may lead to the occurrence of dementia. Australia, Fremantle Hospital, Dr DG Bruce and his colleagues pointed out that some recent studies have found that diabetes and dementia, and diabetic patients the incidence of dementia increased by 2 times. The researchers designed an experiment to determine whether vascular or diabetes-related risk factors for diabetes in elderly women predictable occurrence of dementia. The researchers selected 63 cases of type 2 diabetes (average age 75.3 years), and then through the mini-mental state examination (MMSE) questionnaire to assess their mental energy, and cognitive decline in old age the questionnaire (IQCODE) to assess well-known for at least 10 years of the study and able to respond to the psychological function of patients tested. Finally, the weights of these two values combined with the forecast dementia. The researchers pointed out that the 63 cases in 10 cases of patients unable to speak English from the experiment, the remaining 53 people in six cases (11%) may have dementia. Moreover, the questionnaire prior to the completion of 3 years of blood pressure (high blood pressure and mean arterial pressure) and dementia, there was a significant statistical correlation. Dr. Bruce may be suffering from dementia in patients with blood pressure at this stageThe level of cognitive decline and dementia were similar to non-. Therefore, in elderly diabetic patients the incidence of high blood pressure may lead to high incidence of dementia reasons. (Internship Editor: Wu Wei Qi)
