只是老人才需要担心老年痴呆吗

图片3.jpg

One in three British people born this year will get dementia(痴呆) in their life. Dementia is when the brain no longer works properly because of illness, old age or injury. People have problems remembering things. Their personality changes and they forget how to do many everyday things. An illness charity(慈善机构) said dementia would affect(感染) 27 percent of boys and 37 percent of girls born this year. This could cause a health problem as everyone gets older. There is no effective ways to slow down or stop dementia. The charity said governments must do more research. 

A professor on dementia spoke about how serious the problem is. Dr Matthew Norton said: "More and more people will have dementia in the future if action is not taken now." He added, "Dementia is our greatest medical challenge and if we are to beat it, we must invest in research to find new treatments." Around 36 million people have dementia in the world. About 10 percent of us get it in our life. The number will increase as people live longer. The most common form of dementia is Alzheimer's(老年痴呆症). This causes the brain to damage so it cannot function properly.
