Hinweis der Redaktion
- Dementia describes an amount of memory loss, but not the cause . When a person’s memory declines to a point that he/she is no longer self-sufficient and he/she requires ongoing help or supervision to manage responsibilities or personal care that he/she could once do independently (functional dependency), then he/she has a dementia.
- Memory loss is NOT a normal part of aging. Chronic disease increases with age. Doubles every year after the age of 65. After age 85, risk is nearly 50% MCI 10-20% over age 65; 15% convert each year Those with first degree relative are 2 to 3 times more likely to develop the disease: Inheritance of a certain ApoE-e4 gene may be a risk factor.

- heart disease Diabetes SAN FRANCISCO, December 15, 1999 -- A new study on Caregiver Mortality in the December 15 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association presents frightening information on the impact of the stresses of long-term care giving. Results of the study, by Richard Schulz, Ph.D. and Scott R. Beach, Ph.D., showed that older spousal caregivers had mortality risks that were a shocking 63 percent higher than noncaregiving control subjects. Family Caregiver Alliance's own studies have shown dramatic evidence of depression among caregivers, but this current research shows that the emotional, financial and physical stresses of care giving can have a deadly impact.
