Alzheimer’s Disease is the commonest form of dementia affecting over 60% of all dementia sufferers worldwide.This episode looks at the determinants of brain health and the aetiology of Alzheimer’s Disease.Links:Facts, figures and information on dementia: https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/dementiaFood and brain health: https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/11-brain-foods (did not focus on this in the episode but in case you want to know more).Brain health and food chat with @Doctors_Kitchen: https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/the-doctors/8-eat-to-boost-your-brain-W4eh8cIyNHf/The hippocampus and memory: https://alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/alz.12009Association between diabetes and Alzheimer's Disease: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4265876/The ApoE gene: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnins.2021.630502/fullCognitive stimulation therapy: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5639131/Alzheimer’s support: https://www.alzheimers.org.uk/101 on Alzheimer’s Disease - what it is and it’s pathology: https://www.nia.nih.gov/health/what-happens-brain-alzheimers-diseaseTreatment of Alzheimer’s Disease: https://www.alzheimersresearchuk.org/dementia-information/types-of-dementia/alzheimers-disease/treatments/ Hosted on Acast.
