As the ageing of the population intensifies, the number of Alzheimer's patients has also increased dramatically. How can family members determine if the elderly have acquired dementia? Professor Lu Zhengqi, Director of Department of Neurology, Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, teaches you how to judge dementia in 3 minutes.
1.1 minutes test memory
1 minute to test the old man's memory, you talk to him about 5 different kinds of things like cat, bamboo, train, cabbage, apple. Then take a minute and let the old man do the clock experiment in this minute to see if he can You can't say how accurate the hour and minute hands are. After 1 minute, ask the old man again. What are the five things you said before and see if he can repeat it. If five things can be remembered, explain the situation well, if you can only remember 2 or 3, it is recommended to send a doctor in time.
2. Epilogue
When the old man spoke, he couldn’t remember because of the end words. For example, he asked what kind of food he had at noon. He would say, 'I had meat at noon, I had eggs, I had noodles...'. There will be a turning head disease. When he can't remember, he will turn his head to the side and think or turn to the side for help. If he ate the radish at noon, he said, 'I ate the Chinese cabbage at noon and ate the fish. ...' That's what he said guy, because he doesn't remember.
3. Smile disease
When you ask the elderly, he can't think of it, but he doesn't want anyone else to find the problem. He wants to disguise himself. Then he smiles at the person he is talking to. In fact, his mind is clear at this time, but he can't think of it. .
Through the above three points, we can determine that the elderly may be in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease.
