With increasing age, not only the body but also the mind starts becoming weak. Many times we ignore it considering it to be an effect of age, but a recent major research has revealed shocking facts about forgetfulness i.e. dementia or memory loss in the elderly.
Experts from Lucknow’s King George Medical University (KGMU) and PGI together conducted a research on 350 elderly people. This research revealed that the problem of forgetfulness was found to be almost three times more common in women than in men. That is, if out of 100 men, 13 have the problem of forgetting, then among 100 women of the same age, this problem reaches 39. Also, its risk is more seen in widows and single women, in such a situation let us know why women are 3 times more forgetful than men.
Why are women 3 times more forgetful than men?
Researchers say that this problem is increasing rapidly in women not only due to age, but also due to malnutrition, mental stress and loneliness, due to which widows and women living away from their families have become more victims of this disease. The diet of such women is not balanced and they are not able to take proper care of their health. Besides, lack of emotional and social connection also has a deep impact on the mind.
What else came to light in the research?
Research also revealed that the power of thinking, decision making and reasoning also decreases in women suffering from amnesia. According to KGMU experts, due to living alone, women are not able to eat properly, due to which there is deficiency of nutrients in the body. This malnutrition gradually affects the working power of the brain.
What are the common symptoms of this problem?
Research found that not only memory problems but many other mental and physical problems were also seen in elderly people and women suffering from amnesia. These include frequently forgetting things or keeping things somewhere, increased irritability and anger, sleeplessness or very little sleep, suspiciousness of everyone, feeling difficult in daily work, increase in BP, sugar, eye problems and other diseases.
