Danish researches improves knowledge about Alzheimers

Newest searching in the Alzheimer's disease proves that in many cases, Alzheimer is not a genetic condition you can't avoid, but simply just caused by inflammation, which is avoidable. The new facts were published at www.US.news in the Archives of General Psychiatry.

US.news said in their article:
"Danish researchers found that, compared with those
whose parents didn't have Alzheimers, the volunteers were more likely to have
high blood pressure
and high levels of
inflammatory proteins called cytokines"


During the searchings the researchers found out, that actually 40% of the people with Alzheimers, and whose parrents had dementia, not recieved the disease from their parrents, but can get rid of it just by changing their lifestyle. According to the numbers, a lot of the Alzheimer's had recieved the disease because of a high blood pressure or inflammation, with high inflammatory levels of proteins called cytokines.

This new searching can be usefull to many people with Alzheimer's disease. Now they can try to get red of their trouble, just by changing their lifestyle a little, and help prevent it in the future.

  1. This is a pretty good first post on a subject that is very interesting, Amalie.

    I would recommend that you double-check your links to make sure they work (the "www.US.news" doesn't in your post). Also, instead of apologizing for the spelling mistakes, why not go back and correct them before you post? Maybe a classmate could proof it for you and help you catch anything that was missed.

    Other than those two things, you did a nice job. 22/25

  3. Hello my favorite Dane!

    My mom always tells me that doing cross word puzzles help prevents Alzheimers disease, could this be true?

    So is dementia caused from the inflamed cytokines too? Because I learned that dementia can progress into Alzheimers disease in the third stage. First stage you lose your short term memory loss, second stage you lose long term, and third stage you lose your motor skills.
