After 10 years of research, Jia Jianping, director of the Center for Advanced Innovation in Neurology of Xuanwu Hospital, found that six life factors are highly related to delaying memory decline, and found effective programs to protect the memory of the elderly, providing important data support for the formulation and implementation of relevant global public health policies. The relevant results were recently published in the British Medical Journal, the world's top comprehensive medical journal. In a 10-year cohort study, Jia Jianping's team found that the incidence of dementia could be greatly reduced if the middle-aged and elderly people insisted on the following points: insisting on eating 7 of 12 kinds of diet including cereals, beans, vegetables, fruits, meat, eggs, nuts, dairy products, proper amount of salt, oil, fish and tea; Moderate-intensity physical exercise of no less than 150 minutes or high-intensity physical exercise of no less than 75 minutes per week; Social activities at least twice a week; Reading, thinking and writing at least twice a week; Control smoking and alcohol. This study strongly proves that the recovery of memory and prevention of dementia can be achieved through a healthy lifestyle, which can be summarized as "keep your mouth shut, keep your legs open, use your brain frequently, socialize more, and remember well". "This is a kind of non-drug therapy that can be seen, touched, developed and grounded, and is easy for the public," Jia Jianping said. The research team said that age-related memory decline is not necessarily a precursor of dementia, but may be a common benign amnesia, which can be reversed or kept stable. Therefore, the team calls on the public to practice this method to jointly prevent and slow down age-related memory decline and prevent it from developing into dementia. The study also found an important risk gene affecting memory among genetic factors. There are 270 million people in China carrying this gene, which has the potential harm of memory loss. The research team analyzed the impact of healthy lifestyle on the carriers of this gene and found that it can also effectively protect memory and offset the risk of disease caused by this gene. This study is applicable not only to the elderly, but also to young and middle-aged people who carry important risk genes that affect memory. Jia Jianping believes that raising the awareness of this group to carry out healthy lifestyle earlier will have a significant impact on the brain health of the whole country. (Xinhua News Agency)
