| Research Abstract |
SIGNIFICANCE OF PRIMARY/SECONDARY/TERTIARY PREVENTION OF SENILE DEMENTIAS IS IMMENSE.IN OUR STUDY,RISK FACTORS IN ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE (AD) AND VASCULAR DEMENTIA (VD), MOSTLY INVOLVING MULTIINFARCT DEMENTIA AS WELL AS BINSWANGER DISEASE,WERE DETECTED AND ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO EVALUATE EFFECTS OF "BRAIN ACTIVATION THERAPY" IN DAY CARE FOR EARLY CASES OF AD AND VD.OF 135 FACTORS EVALUATED,WE DESCRIBED THAT
l) PRIOR TO AD AND VD,THE INDIVIDUALS WERE INACTIVE PSYCHOSOCIALLY,
2) PRIOR TO AD AND VD,THE INDIVIDUALS WERE INACTIVE PHYSICALLY,
3) ONLY VD WAS ASSOCIATED WITH VASCULAR RISK FACTORS INCLUDING HYPERTENSIONS,DIABETES,HYPERLIPIDEMIAS,ETC,
4) AD WAS ASSOCIATED WITH HEAD INJURY.
IN VIEW OF THESE RESULTS,WE PRODUCED A PREVENTIVE PROGRAMME IN DAY CARE.IN 34 CASES AND 20 CASES OF AD AND VD,THE INTERVENTION MADE FOR FIVE YEARS REVEALED THAT
1) ADL SCALES WERE IMPROVED IN AD AND VD,
2) MENTAL ABILITY SCALES WERE SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVED IN VD BUT NOT IN AD,
3) LIFE WAS PROLONGED IN VD,
4) BENEFICIAL FACTORS WERE INTERVENTIONS,ACTIVATIONS IN HOME AND FAMILY SUPPORT.
