Effective prevention of dementia begins long before the first symptoms appear. Studies have shown that clear risk factors can be identified 15 to 20 years before a stroke, heart attack, dementia or Parkinson’s disease occurs. Up to 60 percent of strokes and 40 percent of dementia cases could be prevented through targeted prevention. This is where we come in with the additional Dementia & Cognitive Health module. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Special blood tests are of great importance in assessing the risk of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease. Certain viruses and autoimmune processes can damage nerve cells, while certain fats can constrict blood vessels, trigger inflammatory processes and thus impair the supply of oxygen to the brain. Thyroid dysfunction or a lack of essential trace elements can also have a negative impact on nerve metabolism. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The brain is amazingly adaptable. Neuronal plasticity is the ability to respond flexibly to stimuli such as behavioral changes, new environments, dietary changes or injuries. This adaptability plays a key role in learning processes and memory performance. By measuring biomarkers such as the BDNF factor and neurofilament light chains, neuronal health can be precisely assessed. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In addition, genetic analyses for risk genes and targeted tests to measure brain performance can provide a comprehensive picture of individual risk. Based on these findings, personalized prevention and effective risk management are possible. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
