Dementia: Best exercise to fight the condition and reduce Alzheimer’s risk

By -
DEMENTIA signs and symptoms appear when someone’s mental ability begins to decline. Types of the condition include vascular dementia and dementia with lewy bodies. Trying out a particular exercise could be the best way to reduce your risk of developing the condition.
Dementia signs and symptoms include memory loss, a poor ability to concentrate and getting confused in familiar places.

Types of the condition include vascular dementia, Alzheimer's disease dementia with lewy bodies. Your risk of developing the condition increases as you get older.You may be able to reduce this, however, if you change your lifestyle and diet to start doing certain exercises.Doing some brisk walking for 150 minutes a week could help reduce your risk of developing the condition, according to the Alzheimer’s Society.
Doing exercise can reduce your risk of dementia, but may not help if you’re already suffering from the condition. A study recently published in the British Medical Journal suggested that exercise may not help dementia sufferers. “A moderate to high intensity aerobic and strength exercise training programme does not slow cognitive impairment in people with mild to moderate dementia,” says the study.
“The exercise training programme improved physical fitness, but there were no noticeable improvements in other clinical outcomes.”

Over 11 million Americans are at high risk of having a heart attack or  stroke  in the next 10 years — at least, that’s what the numbers say. The equation doctors use to estimate  cardiovascular  risk is prone to miscalculation, according to a new study, meaning patients may be popping daily aspirin or statins at the wrong dosage. The stakes are higher for African-Americans. With the old equation, 1 in 29 African-Americans may be incorrectly labeled very low or very high risk, according to the study. For example, a 46-year-old black man was estimated to have a 40 percent lower chance of having a heart attack or stroke than a white man of the same age and in identical health. In general, African-Americans are at higher risk of cardiovascular conditions than Caucasians, so miscalculations shouldn’t be taken lightly. The heart risk calculator transforms patient information — age, gender, race,  cholesterol  levels, blood pressure, prescriptions, and whether they are diabetic or a

A group of Danish scientists- cardiologists  from the University of Copenhagen came to the conclusion that the likelihood of early death from problems with the blood vessels for men is doubled if they lead a solitary existence. The results of their study they presented at the EuroHeartCare Congress in 2018 in Dublin. Many experts believe that loneliness in terms of the risk of such illnesses as coronary heart disease and stroke even more dangerous in its effects than obesity. Danish researchers have added to this conclusion that loneliness can also increase the likelihood of other cardiac disorders such as  ischemia , atrial fibrillation. Preliminary research, incidentally, also showed that loneliness can be a factor of premature death. Data showed: people without relatives, family and loved ones often die several years earlier than their peers, sharing your life with someone else. “Loneliness and at the same time affects the health in itself, and leads to the fact that elderly

Vascular graft has been a prosthetic of choice among the vascular and other cardiovascular surgeons worldwide due to its strong, inert and biocompatible design which also varies in sizes and configurations in order to improve vascular access. The rise in vascular graft usage has been increased due to increase in cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. Increase in geriatric population, demand of new technological advancements in vascular access, rise in demand of vascular grafts among vascular patients can also accelerate the growth in  vascular graft market . Risk of infection due to diabetes mellitus and immune response can increase some serious complications such as sepsis, amputation, disruption of infected anastomotic rigid line with a rupture, etc. can restrain the market growth. The global vascular graft market is forecast to reach US$3.29 bn by the end of 2024, from US$2.15 bn in 2015. If these figures hold true, the global vascular grafts market will exhibit a CAGR of 5.0% be
