If you have the most prestigious certificates in your specialty, do not expect it to be sufficient to prevent you from developing dementia “Alzheimer’s”, but the real protector will be in how to exploit information and operate the cognitive functions of the mind well.
Consultant psychiatrist Jamal Farweez explains to “Sky News Arabia” the nature of dementia and its relationship to the level of education, genes and heredity, commenting on what was stated in recent studies in this regard.
According to a study issued by the University of Liverpool in Britain, a country where dementia is described as “the biggest killer because it threatens more lives than cancer and heart disease, education has no effect on cognitive decline resulting from dementia.”
What is dementia?
• Dementia begins with the deterioration of the ability to think, reason and remember with age, but it may quickly reach the point of lack of memory and concentration, as long as old scientific studies link between “the level of education and the subsequent incidence of dementia”.
• The direct effect of education is now excluded, but dementia symptoms and deterioration can take longer to arrive if a person has a higher level of education.
Genes and heredity
Jamal Froiz sees an influence of genetic genes on dementia that is greater than the effect of education, and shows the relationship between education and dementia in the following limits:
• People with a higher level of education who have the “dementia gene” have a “lower” level of disease impact.
• The higher the education rate, the higher the identification functions of the person.
• Using definitive functions for long periods makes the effect of dementia on the sufferer “weaker”, but does not prevent the disease.
• Functional games such as “chess and sudoku” activate human cognitive cells; This increases the rates of prevention of dementia and its symptoms.
• The higher the cognitive functions, the lower the deterioration rate for the patient.
• In general, the level of education does not prevent dementia.
Rethink
In addition to genes and heredity, previous studies link dementia with obesity, head injury (such as work injuries), and living in a place with polluted air.
You see that people with higher education are often richer, have more ability to take care of their fitness, not work in handicrafts that cause head injuries, and live in less polluted areas; This means that they are less likely to develop dementia compared to those with less education and wealth.
However, these results may need to be reviewed as well, as the countryside is less polluted than the cities, and many of its residents are poor and their educational levels are weak, and their rural work helps them to maintain agility.
