A lonely life can lead to developing Alzheimer’s in the later stages of life, according to a Swedish study. Widowed, divorced and never remarried people are more at risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.
The study reveals that fifty per cent of the people who have lived alone in their 40’s and 50’s were likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease in their later years. The persons who were not middle aged when their life partner died and had lived their entire life all alone has six times more risk of developing the Alzheimer’s disease than the married ones. While the people who lived alone for their entire adulthood faced twice the risk of developing the disease, it was thrice the risk in people who were divorced in their middle ages.
The study points out that trauma, social and intellectual stimulation influenced Alzheimer’s disease. The researchers feel that the social interaction helps a great deal in the treatment of people with dementia. As a matter of fact, the researchers say that the intervention strategy should be augmented when considering the treatment cost of Alzheimer’s disease.
The ApoE Gene and psychotropic drugs also contribute more to the Alzheimer’s disease. Though there is a limit with the genetics, people should be encouraged to do things that would improve their traits.
