Wali okirabye nti maama wo, taata wo, jjajja wo oba jjajja wo bwe bagenda bakaddiwa okujjukira kukendeera? Oluusi kino tukilowoozaako nga "engeri gye tukaddiwamu," naye si bwe kiri bulijjo. Okufiirwa kuno okujjukira mpolampola oluusi kuyinza okuba akabonero k’obulwadde bwa Alzheimer. Nga twogera ku nsonga eno, osanga owulidde nti obulwadde buno businga kubeera mu bakyala. Ddala waliwo amazima gonna mu mboozi eyo? Lwaki kino kibaawo? Leero, ka twogere ku nsonga eno mu ngeri ennyangu ennyo era mu ngeri ey’omukwano.
Ddala obulwadde bwa Alzheimer businga kubeera mu bakyala?
Yee, emboozi eyo ntuufu. Bw’otunuulira ebibalo okwetoloola ensi yonna, kumpi ebitundu bibiri ku bisatu eby’abantu abalina obulwadde bwa Alzheimer bakyala. Ekyo kitegeeza nti omu ku bakyala mukaaga abasukka emyaka 65 ali mu bulabe bw’okukwatibwa obulwadde buno.
Lowooza ku kino, waliwo ebika by’obulwadde bw’okusannyalala ebiwerako. Wabula abakugu bakizudde nti ebika by’obulwadde bw’okusannyalala ebirala ebitava ku bulwadde bwa Alzheimer bikosa abasajja n’abakazi kyenkanyi. Ekyo kitegeeza nti waliwo akakwate ak'enjawulo wakati w'obulwadde bwa Alzheimer n'abakyala . Kale katutunuulire lwaki abakyala bali mu bulabe obw’amaanyi.
Lwaki kigambibwa nti abakyala bali mu bulabe obusingako?
Waliwo ensonga eziwerako eziviirako kino. Si nsonga emu, wabula ensonga nnyingi ezigatta.
1. Okwongera ku bulamu bw’abakyala
Mu ngeri ennyangu, ensonga enkulu eri nti abakyala bawangaala okusinga abasajja ku kigero. Abakyala bawangaala emyaka nga 81, ate abasajja emyaka nga 76. Ekisinga okuleeta obulwadde bwa Alzheimer kwe kukaddiwa . Kale olw’okuba abakyala bawangaala nnyo, bafuna obudde bungi okulwala obulwadde buno.
Naye emboozi tekoma awo. Okunoonyereza era kukoleddwa ku bibinja by’abasajja n’abakazi ab’emyaka gye gimu, era kizuuliddwa nti abakyala batera okukwatibwa obulwadde bwa Alzheimer. Kino kitegeeza nti waliwo ensonga endala, so si myaka gyokka.
2. Enkyukakyuka mu baserikale b’omubiri
Kigambibwa nti abaserikale b’abakazi abaserikale ba maanyi okusinga ab’abasajja. Eno y’ensonga lwaki abakyala batera okulwala endwadde z’abaserikale b’omubiri (autoimmune diseases) emirundi ebiri.
Kati, laba engeri kino gye kikwataganamu n’obulwadde bwa Alzheimer. Puloteeni enkulu eyenyigira mu bulwadde bwa Alzheimer ye amyloid. Abanoonyereza balowooza nti omubiri guyinza okukola puloteyina eno okulwanyisa obuwuka obuyingira mu bwongo bwaffe. Olw’okuba abaserikale b’abakyala bakola nnyo, puloteyina eno eya amyloid etera okuteekebwa mu bwongo bwabwe. Eno y’emu ku nsonga lwaki abakyala batera okukwatibwa obulwadde buno.
3. Enkola y’obusimu
Estrogen ye hormone enkulu mu bakyala. Obusimu buno buyamba okukuuma obusimu bwaffe obw’omu makkati. Era ayamba okukuuma endwadde nga Alzheimer’s n’okumenyaamenya puloteyina ya amyloid eyayogeddwako emabegako.
Omukyala bw’ayita mu nsonga, emiwendo gya estrogen gino gikendeera mangu . Ekyewuunyisa, oluvannyuma lw’okuggwaamu amaanyi mu nsonga, mu butuufu estrogen y’omusajja omukadde eyinza okuba waggulu okusinga ey’omukyala omukulu.
Wadde ng’okunoonyereza okumu kuzudde emigaso okuva mu bujjanjabi obukyusa obusimu (HRT), okulala tekuzudde mugaso gwonna. Ate era, HRT ekwatagana n’obulabe nga stroke, n’olwekyo kikulu okuteesa ku nsonga eno n’omusawo wo nga tonnasalawo.
4. Enkyukakyuka mu nsengeka n’enkola y’obwongo
Waliwo enjawulo entonotono mu nsengeka y’obwongo bw’abasajja n’abakazi. Okutwalira awamu obwongo bw’abasajja bulina obuzito obusingako katono. Olw’ensonga eno, abasajja bayinza okuba n’obusobozi obusingako okugumira ensonga ezivaako obulwadde bwa Alzheimer.
Okunoonyereza kuzudde nti ekitundu ky’obwongo ekiyitibwa hippocampus ekikola kinene mu kujjukira, kitera okukendeera (atrophy) mu bakyala okusinga mu basajja.
| Ensonga ezongera akabi eri abakyala | Ennyinyonnyola ennyangu |
|---|---|
| Ensonga z’Obuzaale | Enkyukakyuka y’obuzaale bwa APOE ezuuliddwa ng’ensonga ey’obulabe ennyo eri obulwadde bwa Alzheimer’s mu bakyala. Omukyala alina obuzaale buno atera okukwatibwa obulwadde buno okusinga omusajja alina obuzaale bwe bumu. |
| Obunafu | Abakyala bwe bakaddiwa, batera okunafuwa mu mubiri okusinga abasajja ab’emyaka gye gimu. Obunafu buno, okugejja, n’okukoowa ennyo byongera ku bulabe bw’okulwala obulwadde bwa Alzheimer. |
| Ensonga z’Ensi | Okusoma, ssente ennyingi, emirimu, n'okukola emirimu gy'omubiri byongera ku "cognitive reserve" y'obwongo. Edda abakyala bangi tebaafunanga mikisa ng’abasajja. Kino kiyinza okubaleetera obutasobola kugumira kukendeera kwa kujjukira nga bakaddiwa. |
| Ebizibu ebiva mu kiseera ky’olubuto | Embeera nga puleesa (preeclampsia) ng’oli lubuto kirowoozebwa nti zongera obulabe bw’okubulwa amagezi ng’akyali muto. Okwongera okunoonyereza ku nsonga eno kwetaagibwa. |
"Ekitereke ky'obwongo eky'okutegeera" kye ki?
Kino kintu kikulu nnyo. Lowooza ku bwongo bwo nga akawunti ya bbanka. Bw'osoma, bw'oyiga ebintu ebipya, bw'okolagana n'abantu, bw'okola dduyiro, oba oyongera "ebikozesebwa" ku akawunti eno. Kino kye tuyita cognitive reserve.
Obwongo bwe butandika okwonooneka nga tukaddiwa, omuntu alina ekitereke eky’ekika kino aba n’obusobozi okugumira okwonooneka okwo n’asigala ng’akola bulungi. Edda abakyala baalina emikisa mitono egy’okusoma n’okukola emirimu, ekyakendeeza ku mikisa gyabwe egy’okuzimba ekifo kino eky’okutereka. Eno era eyinza okuba ensonga etali butereevu lwaki obulwadde bwa Alzheimer bungi mu bakyala abakadde ennaku zino.
Obubaka Obutwala Awaka
- Obulwadde bwa Alzheimer businga mu bakyala okusinga abasajja, era si lwa kuba nti bawangaala nnyo.
- Enkyukakyuka mu busimu bw’abakyala (naddala okukendeera kwa estrogen), ensonga z’obuzaale, enkola y’abaserikale b’omubiri, n’enkyukakyuka ezitali za maanyi mu nsengeka y’obwongo byonna bye bivaako.
- Obutasoma na mikisa gy‟embeera z‟abantu eri abakyala mu biseera eby‟emabega kiyinza okuba nga kyakosa akabi kano mu ngeri etali butereevu.
- Okukuuma obwongo nga bukola, okuyiga, okubeera n’abantu, n’okubeera n’obulamu obulungi kiyinza okwongera ku bwongo okutereka obusobozi bw’okutegeera.
- Bw’oba ggwe oba omuntu mu maka go alina ekizibu ky’okujjukira, tokibuusa maaso . Yogerako n’omusawo w’amaka go ku nsonga eno ofune amagezi. Okuzuula amangu kye kisumuluzo ky’obujjanjabi.
