改变生活方式可预防老年痴呆1

Lifestyle Changes Can Reduce Risk Of Alzheimer's A new, theoretical analysis finds that about half of the risk factors for Alzheimer's disease are potentially changeable, and that reducing them could substantially decrease the number of new cases of disease worldwide, according to a study to be presented Tuesday at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference.

据老年痴呆症协会国际会议（Alzheimer's Association International Conference）发表的一项研究，一项新的理论分析发现，老年痴呆症(Alzheimer’s disease，又称阿兹海默症)的风险因素大约有一半可能是可变的，降低这些风险因素可能大大降低全世界范围内的新发病数量。

The study is the first known analysis that tries to quantify and compare how risk factors are associated with Alzheimer's. It will be published Tuesday on the journal Lancet Neurology's website after the conference presentation.

这项研究是已知的首个试图将风险因素与老年痴呆症的关联加以量化并进行比较的分析。在上述国际会议上演示后，这项研究将在医学杂志《柳叶刀•神经病学》(Lancet Neurology)的网站上发表。

Factors that increase one's risk for Alzheimer's that are considered modifiable include diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, smoking, sedentary behavior, depression and low educational level, say the authors from the University of California, San Francisco.
