Women’s Day: What Are The 7 Lifestyle Habits To Lower Dementia Risk In Women? How Many Do You Follow?
According to a new study, women are more at risk of dementia than men around the world due to a combination of social and economic disadvantages [1].
There is no specific disease that causes dementia, but several diseases can lead to it. As a group, dementia is defined as a condition that affects memory, thinking, and social skills severely enough to interfere with daily activities.
Although dementia is generally associated with memory loss, different causes can result in memory loss [2].
The most common form of dementia is Alzheimer's disease, but there are other forms as well.
Are Women At An Increased Risk Of Dementia?
There is a marked difference between men and women when it comes to the rate at which brain cells die in the brain. Women are more likely to live longer than men. Alzheimer's disease is not caused by ageing alone, but rather by diseases of the brain [3].
The progression of dementia in women is faster than it is in men, which can lead to a more severe condition.
The association between menopause and dementia has been demonstrated in several research papers. One study published in 2020 found that women who have shorter periods are at a greater risk of developing dementia [4].
What Are The 7 Lifestyle Habits To Lower Dementia Risk In Women?
There is new research that suggests women who follow seven healthy habits may have a lower risk of developing dementia.
What are these seven healthy habits? Do you follow them?
According to the study, the researchers used the Life's Simple 7 lifestyle habits recommended by the American Heart Association [4].
Below are the seven factors that need to be considered to lower dementia risk in women:
- Being active
- Eating better
- Maintaining a healthy weight
- Not smoking
- Maintaining a healthy blood pressure
- Controlling cholesterol
- Having low blood sugar
Experts emphasise that it is not necessary to be the healthiest person in the world. Even if you score well in just one or two areas, your health will improve in the long run if you improve incrementally.
Can Dementia Be Prevented?
Despite the fact that there is no surefire way to prevent all types of dementia, researchers are still investigating how the disease develops. However, a healthy lifestyle can significantly decrease your risk of developing dementia as you grow older [5].
On A Final Note...
It is known that women are more likely to experience dementia than men. Worldwide, women outnumber men with dementia 2 to 1.
If you are a woman, it may be time for you to follow these 7 simple and healthy habits that can help reduce the risk of dementia.
