Ifa lokuwohloka komqondo: ungazisindisa wena?

Singashintsha okuningi ezimpilweni zethu - kodwa, ngeshwa, hhayi izakhi zofuzo zethu. Sonke sizalwa sinefa elithile lofuzo. Nokho, lokhu akusho ukuthi asinakuzisiza.

Thatha ukuwohloka komqondo njengesibonelo: noma ngabe bekunezimo zalokhu kuphazamiseka kwengqondo emndenini, singagwema isiphetho esifanayo. "Ngokuthatha izinyathelo ezithile, ngokwenza izinguquko zokuphila, singabambezela ukuqala noma sibambezele ukuqhubeka kokuwohloka komqondo," kusho uDkt. Andrew Budson, uprofesa wesayensi yezinzwa eBoston Veterans Health Complex.

Ingabe iminyaka kufanele isolwe?

Ukuwohloka komqondo igama elivamile, njengesifo senhliziyo, futhi empeleni lihlanganisa lonke uhla lwezinkinga zengqondo: ukulahlekelwa inkumbulo, ubunzima bokuxazulula izinkinga, nokunye ukuphazamiseka ekucabangeni. Enye yezimbangela ezivame kakhulu zokuwohloka komqondo yisifo i-Alzheimer's. Ukuwohloka komqondo kwenzeka lapho amangqamuzana obuchopho alimele futhi abe nobunzima bokuxhumana wodwa. Lokhu kungase kube nomthelela omkhulu endleleni umuntu acabanga ngayo, azizwa ngayo, futhi aziphathe ngayo.

Abacwaningi basafuna impendulo eqondile embuzweni wokuthi yini ebangela ukuwohloka komqondo okutholwayo nokuthi ubani osengozini enkulu. Yebo, ukuguga kuyisici esivamile, kodwa uma unomlando womndeni wokuwohloka komqondo, kusho ukuthi usengozini enkulu.

Ngakho yiziphi indima yethu yofuzo? Sekuyiminyaka odokotela bebuza iziguli mayelana nezihlobo zokuqala-abazali, izingane zakubo-ukuze zithole umlando womndeni wokuwohloka komqondo. Kodwa manje uhlu selunwetshiwe luhlanganisa o-anti, omalume kanye nabazala.

Ngokusho kukaDkt. Budson, eneminyaka engu-65, ithuba lokuthuthukisa ukuwohloka komqondo phakathi kwabantu abangenawo umlando womndeni cishe li-3%, kodwa ingozi ikhuphukela ku-6-12% kulabo abanezakhi zofuzo. Ngokuvamile, izimpawu zokuqala ziqala cishe eminyakeni efanayo nelungu lomndeni elinokuwohloka komqondo, kodwa ukuhlukahluka kungenzeka.

Izimpawu zokuwohloka komqondo

Izimpawu zokuwohloka komqondo zingabonakala ngendlela ehlukile kubantu abahlukene. Ngokusho kwe-Alzheimer's Association, izibonelo ezijwayelekile zihlanganisa izinkinga eziphindaphindayo nge:

• inkumbulo yesikhashana - ukukhumbula ulwazi olusanda kwamukelwa,
• ukuhlela nokulungisa ukudla okuvamile,
• ukukhokha izikweletu,
• ikhono lokuthola ngokushesha isikhwama semali,
• ukukhumbula izinhlelo (ukuvakasha kodokotela, imihlangano nabanye abantu).

Izimpawu eziningi ziqala kancane kancane futhi ziba zimbi ngokuhamba kwesikhathi. Ukuqaphela kubo noma obathandayo, kubalulekile ukubona udokotela ngokushesha ngangokunokwenzeka. Ukuxilongwa kusenesikhathi kungakusiza ukuthi uthole okuningi ekwelashweni okutholakalayo.

Lawula impilo yakho

Ngeshwa alikho ikhambi lalesi sifo. Ayikho indlela eqinisekisiwe engu-100% yokuzivikela ekuthuthukisweni kwayo. Kodwa singayinciphisa ingozi, ngisho noma kukhona ukuthambekela kofuzo. Ucwaningo luye lwabonisa ukuthi imikhuba ethile ingasiza.

Lokhu kuhlanganisa ukuvivinya umzimba njalo, ukugcina ukudla okunempilo, nokunciphisa kakhulu ukuphuza utshwala. “Izindlela zokuphila ezifanayo ezingase zivikele umuntu ovamile zingasiza nabantu abasengcupheni eyengeziwe yokuwohloka komqondo,” kuchaza uDkt. Budson.

Ucwaningo lwakamuva lwabantu abacishe babe ngama-200 (iminyaka yobudala eyi-000, azikho izimpawu zokuwohloka komqondo) lubheke ukuhlobana phakathi kokukhetha indlela yokuphila enempilo, umlando womndeni, kanye nobungozi bokuwohloka komqondo. Abacwaningi baqoqe ulwazi mayelana nendlela yokuphila yabahlanganyeli, okuhlanganisa ukuzivocavoca, ukudla, ukubhema, kanye nokuphuzwa kotshwala. Ubungozi bofuzo buhlolwe kusetshenziswa ulwazi oluvela kumarekhodi ezokwelapha kanye nomlando womndeni.

Umhlanganyeli ngamunye uthole amaphuzu anemibandela asekelwe endleleni yokuphila nephrofayili yofuzo. Amaphuzu aphezulu aye ahlotshaniswa nezici zendlela yokuphila, futhi amaphuzu aphansi aye ahlotshaniswa nezici zofuzo.

Le phrojekthi yathatha iminyaka engaphezu kwe-10. Lapho isilinganiso seminyaka yabahlanganyeli sineminyaka engu-74, abacwaningi bathola ukuthi abantu abanamaphuzu aphezulu ofuzo - abanomlando womndeni wokuwohloka komqondo - babenengozi ephansi yokuyihlakulela uma nabo benemiphumela ephezulu yokuphila enempilo. Lokhu kuphakamisa ukuthi imikhuba efanele ingasiza ekuvimbeleni ukuwohloka komqondo, ngisho nofuzo olungeluhle.

Kodwa abantu abanezinga eliphansi lokuphila kanye nezibalo eziphezulu zofuzo babenethuba eliphindwe kabili lokuthuthukisa lesi sifo kunabantu ababephila impilo enempilo futhi babonisa amaphuzu aphansi ofuzo. Ngakho-ke noma singenakho ukuthambekela kofuzo, singase sibhebhethekise isimo uma siphila impilo yokunganyakazi, sidla ukudla okungenampilo, sibhema kanye/noma siphuze utshwala ngokweqile.

“Lolu cwaningo luyizindaba ezinhle kubantu abanokuwohloka komqondo emndenini,” kusho uDkt. Budson. "Konke kukhomba ukuthi kunezindlela zokulawula impilo yakho."

Kungcono sekwephuzile kunanini ngaphambili

Ngokushesha siqala ukwenza izinguquko endleleni yethu yokuphila, kuba ngcono. Kodwa amaqiniso abonisa futhi ukuthi akukephuzi kakhulu ukuqala. Ngaphezu kwalokho, asikho isidingo sokushintsha yonke into ngesikhathi esisodwa, uDkt. Budson uyanezela: “Ukushintsha indlela yokuphila kungase kuthathe isikhathi, ngakho qala ngomkhuba owodwa ugxile kuwo, futhi uma usulungile wengeze omunye kuwo.”

Nazi ezinye iziphakamiso zochwepheshe:

• Yeka ukubhema.
• Yiya ejimini, noma okungenani uqale ukuhamba imizuzu embalwa nsuku zonke, ukuze ngokuhamba kwesikhathi ukwazi ukuchitha okungenani isigamu sehora nsuku zonke ukwenza.
• Yehlisa utshwala. Emicimbini, shintshela eziphuzweni ezinganabo utshwala: amanzi amaminerali anolamula noma ubhiya obungenalo utshwala.
• Khulisa ukudla kwakho okusanhlamvu, imifino nezithelo, amantongomane, ubhontshisi, nezinhlanzi ezinamafutha.
• Nciphisa ukudla kwakho okugayiwe kanye nokudla okwenziwe ngamafutha agcwele kanye noshukela olula.

Vumelana, ukulandela izincomo zodokotela akuyona inani eliphakeme kakhulu lokukhokhela ithuba lokuhlala uphilile futhi ujabulele iminyaka yokuvuthwa nokuhlakanipha.
