[Health Channel/Comprehensive Report]According to statistics, among the 65-year-olds in Taiwan, about every 13 people with Alzheimer’s disease have Alzheimer’s disease. At present, there is no way to prevent and treat the disease except to alleviate the symptoms. “Science Daily“(Science Daily) reported that a new study found that intestinal diseases such as gastroesophageal reflux, peptic ulcer and future Alzheimer’s disease are positively correlated, this finding further supports the “gastrointestinal tract and brain” is Arguments for an association, affecting both may stem from abnormal cholesterol, the study was published innature》（Nature）。
The study analyzed a large amount of genetic data on Alzheimer’s disease and several gastrointestinal diseases, each of which analyzed about 400,000 people, and found that people with Alzheimer’s disease and people with gastrointestinal diseases have the same genes. Emmanuel Adewuyi said the discovery improves researchers’ understanding of both diseases and can help develop new research goals for earlier detection and development of new treatments for both diseases.

Adewuyi pointed out that this is the first study to assess the link between Alzheimer’s disease and gastrointestinal disease, but also provides new arguments for genetics, and also proves that people with Alzheimer’s disease and people with gastrointestinal disease , found that they have abnormal cholesterol problems, although the relationship between them needs to be studied, but it can be proved that high cholesterol will be transferred to the central nervous system, resulting in abnormal cholesterol metabolism in the brain.
Adewuyi said that although there is no cure for Alzheimer’s disease, according to the study, cholesterol-lowering drugs may be useful in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease and gastrointestinal diseases, such as reducing inflammation symptoms and regulating immune system. It has also shown that diet can treat and prevent the onset of Alzheimer’s disease and gastrointestinal disease.
