Neurology: Is it really good not to eat fireworks? People who are not interested in what's around them are more likely to develop Alzheimer's disease.

Everyone has their own unique character, some people impulsive lively, and some people are calm and calm, both have advantages and disadvantages.
fact, although personality is stable once formed, it is not static, and many times we can also reshape our character to a certain extent through conscious change.
psychological research shows that personality reflects a person's stable attitude to reality, so personality is more affecting our interpersonal relationships.
, however, a study published October 14 in the journal Neurology suggests that people with apathy are at greater risk of developing Alzheimer's disease! The study, conducted by Dr. Meredith A. Bock of the University of California, San Francisco, et al., was entitled: Apathyand risk of the probable incident dementia community-dwelling older adults.
It has to be said that in modern society, everyone's work, study and life are as stressful as mountains, which makes many people physically and mentally exhausted and indifferent to the things around them - sometimes, despite the abundance of time, they have little interest in many things.
Alzheimer's disease,AD, commonly known as Alzheimer's disease, is a type of degenerative lesions of the central nervous system that occur mainly in the elderly and are characterized by sexual cognitive impairment and behavioral impairment.
, the cause of Alzheimer's disease is not entirely clear, except in a few cases involving genetic mutations.
as the world's population ages, the incidence of Alzheimer's disease is on the rise.
, is there a previously undetected link between apathetic personality and the development of Alzheimer's disease? For the study, the team recruited 2,018 elderly volunteers living in the community to conduct questionnaires and distinguish apathy from depression and anxiety.
questions and answer options of the revised Apathy Assessment Scale are specifically, apathetic people tend to lack interest in the world around them, which includes stopping normal activities, showing little emotion, and lack of energy.
the researchers compared the results and divided the volunteers into three groups: low, moderate, and severely apathetic.
addition, the team used an algorithm based on information about the use of dementia drugs, hospital records, and clinically relevant cognitive ability measurements to determine whether volunteers developed dementia or showed significant declines in memory and thinking skills.
, the researchers also used other factors in the Cox proportional risk model to better verify the link between apathy and dementia.
follow-up study, which looked at the link between varying degrees of apathy and Alzheimer's disease, found that 381 volunteers may have developed dementia.
more importantly, severely indifferent volunteers were more likely to develop dementia (25% vs14%) than low apathy in unaljusted (HR 1.9, 95% CI 1.5-2.5) and adjusted models (HR 1.7, 95% CI 1.3-2.2).
, the researchers also found that apathy was associated with a decline in memory and thinking skills, but not with a rate of change in time.
In the Cox proportional risk model, where the risk of apathy to dementia is associated, Dr Sara Imarisio, head of Alzheimer's Research UK, said: "Apathy symptoms are common in dementia, but many people with dementia are misdiagnosed as depressed, especially in the early stages.
, a better understanding of lesser-known symptoms of dementia, such as apathy, will help us develop better treatments! Overall, the recently published study found in a group of adults in the community that people who were not interested in what was around them were at greater risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.
, the study provides new evidence that apathy is an early symptom of dementia.
Anyway, we have to be passionate about life from time to time, and if you find yourself less and less interested in the world around you, be careful with Alzheimer's!
