Dementia has been known as one of the current "epidemics" in the world, and is estimated to be the fourth most common cause of death in developed countries. What's the cause of brain dementia? Let me talk about it.

What is the cause of brain dementia

First: brain degenerative diseases: there are many kinds of dementia caused by brain degenerative diseases, the most common is Alzheimer's disease dementia, which is also called Alzheimer's disease. The onset of dementia is slow and progressive. In addition, there are also pick's disease, tington's disease dementia, progressive supranuclear paralysis, Parkinson's disease dementia and so on. The latter dementia is relatively rare.

Second: cerebrovascular disease: the most common is multiple cerebral infarction dementia, which is caused by a series of multiple mild ischemic attacks, multiple accumulation caused by cerebral infarction. In addition, there are subcortical vascular dementia and acute paroxysmal cerebrovascular dementia, which can rapidly develop into dementia after a series of stroke caused by cerebral hemorrhage and cerebral embolism, and a few can also be caused by a large area of cerebral infarction. In short, cerebrovascular disease is also a common cause of Alzheimer's disease.

Third: nutritional and metabolic disorders: due to nutritional and metabolic disorders caused by brain tissue and its function damage and lead to dementia. For example, encephalopathy caused by various organs, such as renal encephalopathy, is chronic renal failure, uremia caused by cerebral ischemia, hypoxia, can lead to dementia; other such as hepatic encephalopathy, pulmonary encephalopathy can lead to dementia. Severe nutritional deficiency, such as vitamin B1, B12, niacin and folic acid deficiency, can lead to dementia. Diabetes and hyperlipidemia can cause atherosclerosis of large and middle arteries, thickening of basement membrane of small vessels and microvessels, cerebral infarction and cerebral hemorrhage, and vascular dementia.
