万一自己将来得了老年痴呆,现在应该怎么未雨绸缪得病后的生活?对子女有什么期待?

阿尔茨海默病可以从父母任何一方遗传,但如果从母亲遗传,风险可能更高:

 

Alzheimer's disease can be inherited from either parent, but the risk may be higher if it's inherited from the mother: 

 

Genetics

People inherit one copy of the APOE gene from each parent. Inheriting at least one copy of the APOE e4 allele from either parent increases the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. Inheriting two copies, one from each parent, increases the risk even more. 

 

Family history

People with first-degree relatives who have Alzheimer's disease are four to 10 times more likely to develop the disease themselves. 

 

Maternal inheritance

Some studies suggest that the chances of inheriting Alzheimer's disease are higher from the mother than the father. For example, one study found that people with a mother who had Alzheimer's disease had twice as much gray matter shrinkage as those with a father or no parent with Alzheimer's. 

 

While genetics is a factor in Alzheimer's disease, there are many other risk factors that can contribute to the disease, including behaviors and habits. Some of these risk factors can be changed to potentially reduce a person's risk of cognitive decline.

那我基本不用担心,我爸妈90脑子都还清楚。不过我决定在我自己生活有困难时就赶紧去养老院,现在就慢慢物色合适的养老院。

得了老年痴呆,也就什么都不清楚了,是死是活只能随命。

觉得应该指定监护人吧,是很重要的选择。

早点拟一个医疗医嘱,说明发生哪种情况如何处理。子女没有能力照顾痴呆病人,我们是最好后一代照顾父母的人。

过虑了!重要的是过好当下。

这病与遗传关系很大,我家和我老公往上2代高龄90多都没有老年痴呆 最后一刻都清醒 就是买菜算术算不准了

我老公去年回国探亲,93岁婆婆问我的情况,为啥没一起回来,,,,脑子不胡涂,还知有我这个儿媳。

没事;如果你正在担心,那就没有老年痴呆;如果你有老年痴呆,那就不知道如何担心

立安乐死遗嘱

自己啥都不知道了还有必要给至亲增加负担吗?
