Footballer is More Prone to Dementia

 Decreased Cognitive Abilities

Football players are more likely to suffer from dementia diseases such as Alzheimer's, compared to other earth residents, said a new study published The Lancet, Friday (17/03).

The new study included a study that compared medical records of more than 6,000 male soccer players in the top division of Sweden, with more than 56,000 non-Footballer from 1924 to 2019.

A scientist Peter Ueda from Karolinka Institute who leads the study, said the results of the study show that men's elite soccer players in the world have a "serious risk" can experience degenerative brain disorders.

However, for a goal guard who rarely found ball risk can be affected by dementia, "One of the hypotheses is thatunding football with the head repeatedly is the reason why soccer players have greater risks." Said Ueda.

What is actually what is meant by Dementia?

Dementia is a condition that refers to significant damage or decline in cognitive abilities, such as memory, thinking, and language, which impacts a person's ability to carry out daily activities.

Dementia is usually happening in older people, but also can be an event on younger people. Some of the causes of dementia include Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington, vascular disease, and traumatic head injuries.

Dementia is a worsening chronic condition over time and lacks thoroughly healing, but treatments can help slow its progress and improve the quality of people affected by dementia.

Dementia can be caused by various factors, including medical conditions, environmental factors, lifestyle factors, and genetic factors. Here are some common causes of dementia:

1. Alzheimer's disease: It's the most common cause of dementia. Alzheimer's occurred when beta-milesoid plaques and protein knows piling up in the brain and damage nervous cells.
2. Parkinson's disease: Parkinson's cause damage to nerve cells in the area of the brain that regulates movements, but can also cause dementia.
3. Huntington's disease: It is a genetic condition that causes damage to nerve cells in the brain and causes dementia.
4. Vascular disease: Damage to blood vessels in the brain can contribute to vascular dementia.
5. Mild cognitive impairment: These are conditions that can develop into dementia.
6. Head injury: Severe head injury or repeated can damage the brain and cause dementia.
7. Lifestyle factors: Unhealthy lifestyle, such as smoking, drinking excessive alcohol, and lack of exercise, can increase the risk of dementia.
8. Environmental factors: Exposure to to toxic chemicals and air pollution can increase the risk of dementia.

Although there are many factors that can cause dementia, some types of dementia can be prevented or treated with proper treatment and lifestyle changes.

Dementia can be dangerous because these conditions affect a person's ability to carry out daily activities and interact with other people. Some things that can become dangerous as follows:

The difficulty of doing everyday activities: People who experience dementia can have difficulty carrying out daily activities such as taking a shower, dress, eating, and using toilets.

• The risk of falling: People with dementia can have difficulty with motor coordination and balance, increase the risk of falling and injury.

It is also important to know that proper care and adequate support can help improve people's quality of life with dementia and help them stay safe and feel connected to others.

How many Dimensions attacked age? 

Dementia is more common in older people, especially above age 65. However, dementia may also happen to younger people, especially if they have certain risk factors such as family history, repeated chief trauma, or particular medical conditions such as Parkinson's disease or HIV.

In fact, the risk of developing dementia increases with age. According to data from the Alzheimer's Association, approximately 3% of people 65-74 years of dementia, while almost a third of people aged 85 years or more dementia.

Still, keep in mind that dementia is not a normal part of aging and that not everyone will experience it. There are many factors that could affect a person's risk of dementia, including lifestyle factors, environmental factors and certain medical conditions. Maintaining physical and mental health and avoiding risk factors can help reduce the risk of developing dementia.
