This only thing could predict dementia, says a new study
The researchers found an "association between dementia and self-declared pain".
You can not predict if you will getdementia But there are predictive factors and researchers think they have discovered a new one. "People with dementia can undergo an increase in pain levels 16 years before their diagnosis, according to new research", "reportsThe National Institute of Aging today. "The study, funded in part by the NIA and published inPainis the first to examine the link between pain and dementia over a prolonged period. "Read it to see what pain they hear - and to ensure your health and health of others, do not lack theseSign that you had Covid and you did not know it.
The pain is a correlate or a symptom of dementia, study
"Dementia and chronic pain cause both brain changes and can affect a person's brain health," said NIA. "Although many people who suffer from dementia also have a chronic pain, it is difficult to know if chronic pain causes or accelerates the appearance of dementia, is a symptom of dementia, or is simply associated with dementia because Both are caused by another factor. The new study, led by researchers from the University of Paris, examined the chronology of the association between dementia and self-illuminated pain by analyzing the data of a study that collects Participant data for 27 years. "
The researchers measured the pain in a few different ways: the intensity of the pain, what is the body pain that a participant experiences and an infinite against the pain, which is the pain of a participant who affects his daily activities.
Some "associations were obvious for an average follow-up of 6.2 years". "These associations were stronger when the average follow-up of the incidence of dementia was 3.2 years," said the authors. "In conclusion, these conclusions suggest that pain is a correlative or prodomic symptom rather than a cause of dementia."

There is also a heart-brain connection
This is not the first time a connection has been found between health problems and dementia. "Several known conditions to increase the risk of cardiovascular disease - such as high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol - also increase the risk of developing an Alzheimer's disease," reports theAlzheimer's association. "Some autopsy studies show that up to 80% of people with Alzheimer's disease also have a cardiovascular disease .... Regular physical exercise can be a beneficial strategy to reduce the risk of dementia of Alzheimer and Vascular Dementia. Exercise can benefit directly to brain cells by increasing blood and oxygen flow in the brain. Due to its known cardiovascular benefits, a medically approved exercise program is a valuable part of everything general well-being plan.
