| [00:00.00] | From VOA learning English, |
| [00:02.93] | this is the Health Report. |
| [00:05.48] | You wake up early one morning to make a meal |
| [00:08.68] | to take to work and then you forget it. |
| [00:11.47] | Has this ever happened to you? |
| [00:13.41] | Or you see your next door neighbour someone you know well |
| [00:18.04] | but you can not remember his name. |
| [00:20.54] | Your family doctor says it is nothing to worry about, |
| [00:24.48] | just a part of getting old. |
| [00:26.97] | Well, that is true, it might not be the whole story. |
| [00:32.01] | At a conference two weeks ago, researchers said |
| [00:36.92] | they now have proof that self-reproted minor memory lose |
| [00:41.70] | sometimes led to greater mental decline six years later. |
| [00:48.27] | The Alzheimer's Association organized the event. |
| [00:52.31] | Rebecca Amariglio is a neuropsychologist |
| [00:56.49] | at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts. |
| [01:01.65] | She found that individuals who worried about their memory |
| [01:06.03] | will more likely to suffer a loss of mental ability. |
| [01:10.60] | Her research shows that such persons were likely |
| [01:15.51] | to have a protein called beta-amyloid in the brain. |
| [01:20.29] | Beta-amyloid is suspected of being at least |
| [01:24.27] | partly involved with Alzheimer's disease. |
| [01:28.25] | Evidence that the disease develops |
| [01:30.63] | for an unknown period of time before experts |
| [01:35.01] | recognize it is leading to a new area of study. |
| [01:39.85] | It is called subjective cognitive decline. |
| [01:43.84] | It involves people who sense that their memory |
| [01:47.72] | and thinking skills are failing before others realize it. |
| [01:54.10] | Experts want to inform the public that most people |
| [01:58.58] | who worry about their mental decline do not develop dementia |
| [02:04.15] | -- the most commonm form of Alzheimer's. |
| [02:07.49] | what they are experiencing is truly natural and normal aging. |
| [02:13.73] | Ronald Petersen is a member of the Alzhermer's |
| [02:17.51] | Association National Board. |
| [02:20.10] | He says people should be tested |
| [02:22.93] | if they fear they might have the disease. |
| [02:27.06] | Doctor Petersen says it is important |
| [02:29.96] | that subjective cognitive decline be recognized. |
| [02:35.04] | In his words, it can be a wake-up call for doctors. |
| [02:39.86] | "So the doctors do not dismiss somebody when they come in, |
| [02:43.80] | say, eg. 'Doctor, my memory isn't quite what it used to be.' |
| [02:47.43] | Again, doesn't mean it's Alzheimer's Diseaser. |
| [02:49.57] | But it does suggest the physician that he or she |
| [02:53.20] | needs to ask few more probing questions." |
| [02:55.74] | He says doctors might ask patients about other issues, |
| [03:00.17] | like any medicines they are taking |
| [03:03.00] | and whether they suffer from anxiety, depression or stress. |
| [03:08.28] | He says all those things can cause changes in memory. |
| [03:13.96] | At the same time, he says, |
| [03:16.20] | memory loss could be an early sign of something more serious. |
| [03:21.98] | Doctor Peterson describes the recognition of |
| [03:26.02] | subjective cognitive decline as an important change |
| [03:31.04] | that will help doctors identify who might be at risk. |
| [03:35.97] | That way, when therapies are developed, |
| [03:39.05] | the eariler doctors intervene, |
| [03:41.69] | the more likely these treatments might be effective. |
| [03:46.57] | Right now, there is no way to cure Alzheimer's. |
| [03:51.46] | And that's the Health Report from VOA Learning English. |
