Wake waphawula ukuthi inkumbulo kamama wakho, kababa, kagogo, noma kamkhulu wakho iyancipha njengoba bekhula? Ngezinye izikhathi sicabanga ngalokhu "njengoba nje sikhula," kodwa akunjalo ngaso sonke isikhathi. Lokhu kulahlekelwa kancane kancane kwenkumbulo ngezinye izikhathi kungaba uphawu lwesifo i-Alzheimer's. Uma sikhuluma ngakho, mhlawumbe uke wezwa ukuthi lesi sifo sivame kakhulu kwabesifazane. Ingabe likhona iqiniso ngempela kuleyo ndaba? Kungani lokhu kwenzeka? Namuhla, ake sixoxe ngalokhu kalula nangendlela enobungane.
Ingabe isifo i-Alzheimer sivame kakhulu kwabesifazane?
Yebo, leyo ndaba iyiqiniso. Uma ubheka izibalo emhlabeni wonke, cishe izingxenye ezimbili kwezintathu zabantu abanesifo i-Alzheimer's ngabesifazane. Lokho kusho ukuthi owesifazane oyedwa kwabayisithupha abangaphezu kweminyaka engu-65 usengozini yokuthola lesi sifo.
Cabanga ngakho, kunezinhlobo eziningana ze-dementia. Kodwa ochwepheshe bathole ukuthi ezinye izinhlobo ze-dementia ezingabangelwa yisifo i-Alzheimer zithinta kokubili amadoda nabesifazane ngokulinganayo. Lokho kusho ukuthi kukhona ukuxhumana okukhethekile phakathi kwesifo i-Alzheimer nabesifazane . Ngakho ake sibone ukuthi kungani abesifazane besengozini enkulu.
Kungani kuthiwa abesifazane basengozini enkulu?
Kunezizathu eziningana zalokhu. Akusona isizathu esisodwa, kodwa inhlanganisela yezizathu eziningi.
1. Ukwanda kwesikhathi sokuphila kwabesifazane
Kalula nje, isizathu esiyinhloko ukuthi abesifazane baphila isikhathi eside kunabesilisa ngokwesilinganiso. Isilinganiso sokuphila kwabesifazane singaba yiminyaka engama-81, kanti kwabesilisa singaba yiminyaka engama-76. Isici esikhulu sengozi yokuthola isifo i-Alzheimer ukuguga . Ngakho-ke ngenxa yokuthi abesifazane baphila isikhathi eside, banesikhathi esiningi sokuthola lesi sifo.
Kodwa indaba ayigcini lapho. Izifundo zenziwe nakumaqembu abesilisa nabesifazane abaneminyaka efanayo, futhi kutholakale ukuthi abesifazane banamathuba amaningi okuthola isifo i-Alzheimer's. Lokhu kusho ukuthi kunezinye izizathu, hhayi ubudala kuphela.
2. Izinguquko ohlelweni lokuzivikela komzimba
Kuthiwa amasosha omzimba abesifazane anamandla kakhulu kunawabesilisa. Yingakho abesifazane benamathuba aphindwe kabili okuthola izifo ezibangelwa ukuzivikela komzimba.
Manje, nansi indlela lokhu okuhlobana ngayo nesifo i-Alzheimer's. Iphrotheni ebalulekile ehilelekile esifweni i-Alzheimer's yi-amyloid. Abacwaningi bakholelwa ukuthi umzimba ungakhiqiza le phrotheni ukuze ulwe nezifo ezingena ebuchosheni bethu. Ngenxa yokuthi amasosha omzimba abesifazane asebenza kakhulu, le phrotheni ye-amyloid inamathuba amaningi okufakwa ebuchosheni babo. Lesi esinye sezizathu ezenza abesifazane babe namathuba amaningi okuthola lesi sifo.
3. Ithonya lama-hormone
I-estrogen iyi-hormone ebalulekile yabesifazane. Le hormone isiza ekuvikeleni isimiso sethu sezinzwa esiyinhloko. Iphinde isize ekuvikeleni ezifweni ezifana ne-Alzheimer's futhi iphule iphrotheni ye-amyloid okukhulunywe ngayo ekuqaleni.
Uma owesifazane edlula esikhathini sokunqamuka kokuya esikhathini, la mazinga e-estrogen ehla ngokushesha . Ngokumangalisayo, ngemva kokunqamuka kokuya esikhathini, amazinga e-estrogen endoda endala angase abe phezulu kunalawo owesifazane omdala.
Nakuba ezinye izifundo zithole izinzuzo zokwelashwa ngokushintsha ama-hormone (HRT), ezinye azizange zithole izinzuzo. Futhi, i-HRT ihlotshaniswa nezingozi ezifana nesifo sohlangothi, ngakho-ke kubalulekile ukuxoxa ngalokhu nodokotela wakho ngaphambi kokwenza isinqumo.
4. Izinguquko esakhiweni nasemsebenzini wobuchopho
Kunomehluko omncane ekwakhiweni kobuchopho babesilisa nabesifazane. Ngokuvamile, ubuchopho bamadoda bunomthamo omkhulu kancane. Ngenxa yalokhu, amadoda angaba nekhono elikhulu lokubekezelela izici eziholela esifweni i-Alzheimer's.
Ucwaningo luthole ukuthi i-hippocampus, ingxenye yobuchopho edlala indima enkulu ekukhumbuleni, inamathuba amaningi okuncipha (ukuwohloka) kwabesifazane kunakwabesilisa.
| Izinto ezandisa ingozi kwabesifazane | Incazelo elula |
|---|---|
| Izici Zofuzo | Uhlobo lwezakhi zofuzo lwe-APOE lubonwe njengesici esinamandla sengozi ye-Alzheimer's kwabesifazane. Owesifazane onalesi sakhi sofuzo unamathuba amaningi okuthola lesi sifo kunowesilisa onesakhi sofuzo esifanayo. |
| Ubuthakathaka | Njengoba abesifazane bekhula, banamathuba amaningi okuba buthakathaka ngokomzimba kunabesilisa abaneminyaka efanayo. Lokhu buthakathaka, ukwehla kwesisindo, kanye nokukhathala njalo kwandisa ingozi ye-Alzheimer's. |
| Izici Zomphakathi | Imfundo, imali engenayo ephezulu, umsebenzi, kanye nomsebenzi womzimba kwandisa "ukugcinwa kwengqondo" kobuchopho. Esikhathini esidlule, abesifazane abaningi babengenawo amathuba afanayo nabesilisa. Lokhu kungenza bangakwazi ukumelana nokuncipha kwenkumbulo njengoba bekhula. |
| Izinkinga ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa | Izimo ezifana nomfutho wegazi ophakeme (i-preeclampsia) ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa kucatshangwa ukuthi zandisa ingozi yokuwohloka komqondo kamuva ekuphileni. Kudingeka ucwaningo olwengeziwe ngalokhu. |
Iyini "indlela yokuqonda" yobuchopho?
Lokhu kuyinto ebaluleke kakhulu. Cabanga ngobuchopho bakho njenge-akhawunti yasebhange. Uma ufunda, uma ufunda izinto ezintsha, uma uxhumana nabantu, uma uzivocavoca, unezela "izinsiza" kule akhawunti. Yilokhu esikubiza ngokuthi i-cognitive reserve.
Lapho ubuchopho buqala ukuwohloka njengoba sikhula, umuntu onalolu hlobo lokuzigcina unamandla okubekezelela lowo monakalo futhi aqhubeke nokusebenza kahle. Esikhathini esidlule, abesifazane babenamathuba ambalwa emfundo nawobungcweti, okwanciphisa amathuba abo okwakha lesi sikhungo sokuzigcina. Lokhu kungaba futhi yisizathu esingaqondile sokusabalala okuphezulu kwesifo i-Alzheimer's phakathi kwabesifazane asebekhulile namuhla.
Umlayezo Wokuya Nawe Ekhaya
- Isifo i-Alzheimer's sivame kakhulu kwabesifazane kunakwabesilisa, futhi akusikho nje ukuthi baphila isikhathi eside.
- Izinguquko emazingeni ama-hormone abesifazane (ikakhulukazi i-estrogen enciphile), izici zofuzo, ukusebenza kwesimiso somzimba sokuzivikela, kanye nezinguquko ezincane esakhiweni sobuchopho konke kuyizinto ezibangela lokhu.
- Ukuntuleka kwemfundo namathuba omphakathi kwabesifazane esikhathini esidlule kungenzeka ukuthi kwathinta le ngozi ngokungaqondile.
- Ukugcina ubuchopho busebenza, ukufunda, ukuxhumana nabantu, nokuphila ngendlela enempilo kungandisa amandla obuchopho okugcina ingqondo.
- Uma wena noma othile emndenini wakho enenkinga yokukhumbula, ungayizibi . Khuluma nodokotela womndeni wakho ngakho bese uthola iseluleko. Ukutholwa kusenesikhathi kubalulekile ekwelashweni.
