Chapter 701: Alzheimer's Disease

One morning, Su Yi was busy doing experiments.

However, he did not waste any time in these years, and his understanding of sunset medicine was deeper.

The most important thing is that Su Yi has determined how much merit value can be returned by the sunset medicine, which is the most important point.

Moreover, the sunset medicine can feedback the merit value, which means that the sunset medicine does have a therapeutic effect, and the effect is not bad, which is also very important.

Next, Su Yi took a cold shower, ate a little casually to fill his stomach, and then went out.

It didn't take long for him to come to the Twin Star Mansion and go directly to Liu Yueying's office.

At this time, Liu Yueying was doing things in the office, which was completely expected by Su Yi.

After coming in, Su Yi looked at Liu Yueying and said, "It's just time for dinner, and you're still sitting in the office, which means you haven't had lunch yet, right?"

"I still have some things, just do it and go. Liu Yueying said with a smile.

Su Yi shook his head, walked over, and said: "Not eating on time is not a good habit, it is not good for the body, although work is important, but you can't forget to sleep and eat." ”

After finishing speaking, he took out a lunch box, opened it, put it in front of Liu Yueying, and said, "This is what I packed from home, you can see if you want to eat it." ”

"Thanks, but I'll eat later. Liu Yueying felt a little surprised, but also a little surprised.

Su Yi shook his head and put the document away directly: "If you don't eat it now, it won't taste good when it's cold, even if it's hot again, it will taste bad, you better eat it while it's hot, and you can do it later." ”

Liu Yueying had no choice but to pick up the lunch box and start eating.

"Is this what your family did? Liu Yueying took a bite and said.

Su Yi nodded and said, "If you like to eat, then you can come to my house to eat, I promise that you will not be disappointed." ”

These meals are all cooked by Li Xinyan, her cooking skills are very good, no worse than the chief chef of the hotel, not to mention the use of condiments such as catalpa powder, which has become a delicacy in the world.

"It's good to eat once in a while, and if you go to your house to eat, that's embarrassing. Liu Yueying smiled.

And Su Yi said: "What's so embarrassing about this, it's just a meal, it's not a big deal, as long as you want, you can come every day." ”

"You're not afraid that I'll eat you poor?" Liu Yueying said with a smile.

Hearing this, Su Yi also smiled and replied, "If you have this ability, then I don't mind at all." ”

"Hmph, if you have the chance, I will go to your house and eat up your dinner, so that you don't have anything to eat. Liu Yueying snorted and said.

"Okay, I won't mind, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat that much. ”

Su Yi stood up as he spoke, then went to make a pot of tea, and poured Liu Yueying a cup first.

It didn't take long for Liu Yueying to eat enough, and then the two began to talk about business.

"Su Dong, the materials you asked me to investigate are all ready. Liu Yueying took out a document and said.

Su Yi nodded and said, "Then you come and listen." ”

According to statistics, there are about 3.296 billion people aged 60 and over in the world, accounting for 12.3% of the world's population, and this proportion will reach 16.5% by 2030. Liu Yueying took the report and began to speak.

As the world's most populous country and the country with the largest elderly population in the world, by the end of 2014, China's elderly population over 60 years old had reached 465 million, accounting for 15.5% of the total population. The average annual growth rate of population aging is as high as 3.2%, which is about five times the growth rate of the total population. It is estimated that the elderly population will reach 530 million in 2020, accounting for 17.17% of the total population, and by 2050, the total elderly population will exceed 900 million, and the aging level will be promoted to more than 30%. ”

Su Yi nodded as he listened, and at the same time, when he heard that there were nearly 3.3 billion elderly people in the world, he couldn't help but be surprised, he didn't expect that there would be so many elderly people, which is more than children.

"In 2014, the number of dementia patients in the world has reached 177 million, of which 50%-75% are Alzheimer's disease patients. For the whole of this year, there will be 37.6 million new dementia patients worldwide, the number of dementia patients in the world will double every 20 years, and 1 in 3 elderly people who will die will be diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease or other types of dementia. ”

Su Yi knows that Alzheimer's disease, also known as Alzheimer's disease, is also a progressive neurodegenerative disease with insidious onset.

The clinical manifestations are characterized by generalized dementia manifestations such as memory impairment, aphasia, apraxia, agnosia, impairment of visuospatial skills, executive dysfunction, and personality and behavioural changes, and the etiology is unknown. Those who develop the disease before the age of 65 are called Alzheimer's disease, and those who develop it after the age of 65 are called senile dementia.

"Alzheimer's disease, is one of the four major killers of the health of the elderly, in severe cases, can not understand the content of the conversation, can not solve simple problems such as feeding, clothing, etc., will eventually be paralyzed in bed, on the way to the deterioration of the condition of some patients will be accompanied by delusional hallucinations and other phenomena, at present, in Zhenguo, the number of Alzheimer's disease patients has ranked first in the world, but also one of the fastest growing countries in the world, in 2010 the number of Alzheimer's disease patients reached 12.5 million. Liu Yueying said another shocking statistic.

Su Yi also knows that Alzheimer's disease brings very painful suffering to the elderly, and at the same time, it also brings a lot of inconvenience to the families of Alzheimer's patients, which is more tiring than taking care of a child, and the most painful thing is the mental torture.

After all, taking care of children is to watch them grow up day by day, and taking care of Alzheimer's patients is to watch them age day by day, which will have a great impact on the psyche.

Therefore, after the elderly in the family have Alzheimer's disease, not only the old people suffer, but the family members are also very hard, and there is no hope.

Because so far, there is no possibility of curing Alzheimer's disease, and at most it can only delay the disease, but it will still make the disease more and more serious as the patient's immune function declines, and there is no way to control the disease.

If it weren't for Liu Yueying to say these statistics, Su Yi would not have thought that Alzheimer's disease would cause trouble to so many people.

After hearing these data, he felt that the listing of sunset medicine was even more necessary, which was undoubtedly a very significant good thing that could bring hope to many families, bring rebirth, and let them take a break from their torment. (To be continued.) )
