Ngaba wakha waphawula ukuba inkumbulo kamama, katata, kamakhulu, okanye katatomkhulu wakho iyaphela njengoko bekhula? Ngamanye amaxesha sicinga oku "njengoko sikhula nje," kodwa akunjalo rhoqo. Oku kulahlekelwa kancinci kwenkumbulo ngamanye amaxesha kunokuba luphawu lwesifo sika-Alzheimer. Ukuthetha ngako, mhlawumbi ukhe weva ukuba esi sifo sixhaphake kakhulu kubasetyhini. Ngaba ikho inyaniso kuloo bali? Kutheni oku kusenzeka? Namhlanje, masithethe ngale nto ngokulula nangendlela enobuhlobo.
Ngaba isifo sika-Alzheimer sixhaphake kakhulu kubafazi?
Ewe, elo bali liyinyani. Xa ujonga izibalo kwihlabathi liphela, phantse isibini kwisithathu sabantu abanesifo sika-Alzheimer ngabafazi. Oko kuthetha ukuba umfazi omnye kwabathandathu abaneminyaka engaphezu kwama-65 ubudala usengozini yokuhlaselwa sesi sifo.
Cinga nje, kukho iintlobo ezahlukeneyo ze-dementia. Kodwa iingcali zifumanise ukuba ezinye iintlobo ze-dementia ezingabangelwa sisifo se-Alzheimer zichaphazela amadoda nabafazi ngokulinganayo. Oko kuthetha ukuba kukho unxibelelwano olukhethekileyo phakathi kwesifo se-Alzheimer nabafazi . Ngoko makhe sijonge ukuba kutheni abafazi besengozini enkulu.
Kutheni kusithiwa abafazi basengozini enkulu?
Kukho izizathu ezininzi zoku. Asikuko esinye isizathu, kodwa yindibaniselwano yezizathu ezininzi.
1. Ukwanda kwexesha lokuphila kwabasetyhini
Ngamafutshane, isizathu esiphambili kukuba abafazi baphila ixesha elide kunamadoda ngokomndilili. Umyinge wobomi obulindelekileyo kubafazi umalunga neminyaka engama-81, ngelixa kumadoda umalunga neminyaka engama-76. Eyona nto inobungozi bokufumana isifo se-Alzheimer kukwaluphala . Ngoko ke ngenxa yokuba abafazi baphila ixesha elide, banexesha elingakumbi lokufumana esi sifo.
Kodwa ibali alipheli apho. Kuye kwenziwa uphando kumaqela amadoda nabafazi abaneminyaka efanayo, kwaye kufunyenwe ukuba abafazi banamathuba amaninzi okufumana isifo se-Alzheimer's. Oku kuthetha ukuba kukho ezinye izizathu, kungekuphela nje ubudala.
2. Utshintsho kwinkqubo yomzimba yokuzikhusela
Kuthiwa amajoni omzimba abasetyhini anamandla kuneamadoda. Yiyo loo nto abafazi benamathuba aphindwe kabini okufumana izifo ezibangelwa kukuzikhusela komzimba.
Nantsi indlela oku okunxulumene ngayo nesifo sika-Alzheimer. Iproteni ephambili ebandakanyekayo kwisifo sika-Alzheimer yi-amyloid. Abaphandi bakholelwa ukuba umzimba unokuvelisa le protein ukulwa nosulelo olungena ebuchotsheni bethu. Ngenxa yokuba amajoni omzimba abasetyhini asebenza ngakumbi, le protein ye-amyloid inokwenzeka ukuba ibekwe ebuchotsheni babo. Esi sesinye sezizathu zokuba abafazi banokuba nesi sifo.
3. Impembelelo yeehomoni
I-estrogen yi-hormone ebalulekileyo yabasetyhini. Le hormone inceda ekukhuseleni inkqubo yethu yemithambo-luvo. Ikwanceda ekukhuseleni kwizifo ezifana ne-Alzheimer's kwaye iqhekeza iproteni ye-amyloid ekhankanyiweyo ngaphambili.
Xa umfazi edlula kwixesha lokuya exesheni, la manqanaba e-estrogen ehla ngokukhawuleza . Okumangalisayo kukuba, emva kokuya exesheni, amanqanaba e-estrogen endoda endala anokuba phezulu kunelawo omfazi omdala.
Nangona ezinye izifundo zifumene iingenelo ezivela kunyango lokutshintshwa kweehomoni (HRT), ezinye azifumananga nzuzo. Kwakhona, i-HRT inxulunyaniswa neengozi ezifana nesifo sohlangothi, ngoko ke kubalulekile ukuxoxa ngale nto nogqirha wakho ngaphambi kokuba wenze isigqibo.
4. Utshintsho kwisakhiwo kunye nomsebenzi wobuchopho
Kukho umahluko omncinci kwindlela ezimile ngayo iingqondo zamadoda nabafazi. Ngokubanzi, iingqondo zamadoda zinomthamo omkhulu kancinci. Ngenxa yoku, amadoda anokuba namandla okumelana nezinto ezikhokelela kwisifo i-Alzheimer's.
Uphando lufumanise ukuba i-hippocampus, inxalenye yobuchopho edlala indima enkulu kwinkumbulo, inokwenzeka ukuba inciphe (i-atrophy) kwabasetyhini kunakumadoda.
| Izinto ezonyusa umngcipheko kubasetyhini | Ingcaciso elula |
|---|---|
| Izinto ezibangela i-genetic | Uhlobo lwe-APOE gene luchongiwe njengeyona nto iphambili ebangela i-Alzheimer's kubasetyhini. Umfazi onesi gene unamathuba amaninzi okufumana esi sifo kunendoda ene-gene efanayo. |
| Ubuthathaka | Njengoko abafazi bekhula, banamathuba amaninzi okuba buthathaka emzimbeni kunamadoda aneminyaka efanayo. Oku buthathaka, ukwehla kobunzima, kunye nokudinwa rhoqo kwandisa umngcipheko we-Alzheimer's. |
| Izinto zeNtlalo | Imfundo, ingeniso ephezulu, umsebenzi, kunye nomsebenzi womzimba kwandisa "ugcino lwengqondo" lobuchopho. Ngaphambili, abafazi abaninzi babengenawo amathuba afanayo namadoda. Oku kunokubangela ukuba bangakwazi ukumelana nokuncipha kwenkumbulo njengoko bekhula. |
| Iingxaki ngexesha lokukhulelwa | Iimeko ezifana noxinzelelo lwegazi oluphezulu (i-preeclampsia) ngexesha lokukhulelwa kucingelwa ukuba ziyandisa umngcipheko we-dementia kamva ebomini. Kufuneka uphando olongezelelekileyo ngale nto. |
Yintoni "ingqondo egcina ulwazi"?
Le yinto ebaluleke kakhulu. Cinga ngengqondo yakho njengeakhawunti yebhanki. Xa ufunda, xa ufunda izinto ezintsha, xa udibana nabantu, xa uzilolonga, wongeza "izixhobo" kule akhawunti. Oku kubizwa ngokuba yi-cognitive reserve.
Xa ingqondo iqala ukuwohloka njengoko sikhula, umntu onolu hlobo logcino unokukwazi ukumelana nomonakalo aze aqhubeke nokusebenza kakuhle. Ngaphambili, abafazi babenamathuba ambalwa emfundo nawomsebenzi, nto leyo eyanciphisa amathuba abo okwakha olu gcino. Oku kusenokuba sisizathu esingangqalanga sokuxhaphaka okuphezulu kwesifo se-Alzheimer phakathi kwabasetyhini abadala namhlanje.
Umyalezo Wokuya Ekhaya
- Isifo sika-Alzheimer sixhaphake kakhulu kwabasetyhini kunamadoda, kwaye asikuko nje ukuba baphila ixesha elide.
- Utshintsho kumanqanaba eehomoni zabasetyhini (ingakumbi ukwehla kwe-estrogen), izinto ezibangela ufuzo, ukusebenza kwenkqubo yomzimba yokuzikhusela, kunye notshintsho oluncinci kwisakhiwo sobuchopho zonke zizinto ezinegalelo.
- Ukungabikho kwemfundo namathuba oluntu kwabasetyhini kwixesha elidlulileyo kusenokuba kwayichaphazela ngokungathanga ngqo le ngozi.
- Ukugcina ingqondo isebenza, ukufunda, ukunxulumana nabantu, kunye nokuphila ubomi obusempilweni kunokwandisa amandla obuchopho okugcina ingqondo ikwazi ukusebenza.
- Ukuba wena okanye umntu kusapho lwakho unengxaki yokukhumbula, musa ukuyityeshela . Thetha nogqirha wakho ngale nto uze ufumane ingcebiso. Ukufunyaniswa kwangoko kubalulekile kunyango.
