Baja & Border News Translations: Women more likely to suffer from Alzheimer's; Vitamin thief caught; Infant dies in fire

Women more likely to suffer from Alzheimer's (El Mexicano, 2/4/13 by Hilario Ochoa Movis)

TIJUANA, BC - Persons who are older than 70 have a 15% chance of developing dementia disease and the possibility increases to 50% at age 80 in this city. Alzheimer's disease is the main dementia disorder, said a physician internist with a subspecialty in geriatrics, Dr. Eduardo Vázquez de la Mora.

In a conversation with members of the College of Medicine at General Tijuana (Comegeti), chaired by Dr. Enrique Medina Márquez, the specialist said dementia affects mental functions and at the same time cause a loss of memory. He added that women are more likely to suffer from Alzheimer's disease.

He indicated the factors causing this disease are primarily age, blows to the head, and inheritance of genes from relatives with the disorder, diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular problems.

"It is a disease (Alzheimer's) which causes dysfunctions in memory, disorientation and an individual’s inability to perform such activities as dressing themselves or using the bathroom. They can not go out alone and become more dependent on others," said the specialist.

Vázquez de la Mora said that currently there is no solution for the disorder, only medications to control symptoms and allow a person to have a better quality of life, hence the importance of prevention. "This disease can be prevented through good eating habits, and mental and physical activities. An individual with more schooling is considered less likely to get Alzheimer's," said the internist.

He said that it is important to consider that memory problems are not normal and require professional help. These issues are presented in the form of forgetfulness, constant repetition of something already mentioned or that the person often gets lost.

The medical internist and geriatrician added that unfortunately when patients go to obtain a diagnosis, they are often already at a moderate stage and treatment is less effective, therefore the importance of prevention and early detection is emphasized. http://www.el-mexicano.com.mx/informacion/noticias/1/3/estatal/2013/02/04/649160/mujeres-mas-propensas-a-sufrir-de-alzheimer.aspx
