英国名医马克波特医生说,延迟退休年龄,可以延迟患上痴呆症。

伦敦南部毛德斯里医院心理学院研究人员的研究发现,多工作一年,可延缓痴呆一个月,如果退休年龄从65岁延迟到70岁,痴呆症就可迟半年到来。

马克波特说,造成痴呆最常见的原因,是脑部细胞缺失、缩小及蛋白物质沉积形成斑块所致,但成因不一而足,至少有20%是由于供血给脑部的动脉逐渐受堵,导致失忆和识别能力减退,迷失方向和困惑。

虽然人类对延缓痴呆能做的有限,但却可以通过很多方法,保持头脑和脑部循环健康,以减少缺陷的出现。

马克波特说:“头脑像肌肉一样需要锻炼,每天多用脑,就会保持脑筋灵活。”

当然,除了继续工作外,毛德斯里医院心理学院的研究也显示,消闲活动丰富,社交生活多姿多彩,学习新技能,玩砌字、走出迷宫等游戏,也都有助于延缓痴呆。

Hi, Thank you for sharing this information.

However, this is my personal opinion. My dad work till the day , he is being diagnosis with dementia. So i dont really agreed to this article.

My dad is handling accounts and he has to do a lot of figures...he is being diagnosis at the age of 73.( which i think he is quite young, but the brain -half of the hemisphere already shrink quite small) Well, maybe he is being diagnosis early due to my sensitivity. Till now, he is still mobile and taking the train to the day care centre that is quite far away frm home.

Rgds.
