Responding to figures released today by the NHS Information Centre, the Department of Health highlighted that ongoing and future campaigns would help people to live more healthily.
Health awareness campaigns are a vital step towards helping people reduce their risk of dementia. Poor diet, obesity and excessive drinking of alcohol can all increase your risk of dementia, a condition one in 3 people over 65 die with. Unless we tackle dementia now the consequences could break our health and social care system. We hope these campaigns will be followed by a large national campaign to raise public and professional awareness of dementia. People who need more information about how much exercise they should be taking and which foods they should be eating should contact Alzheimer's Society for a copy of 'Be Headstrong' a guide on reducing your risk.
To compare awareness of memory in people with early Alzheimer's disease (AD) with older and younger control groups in order to clarify the contributions of disease and ageing. Twenty-one individuals with early AD, 32 older people (OP) and 32 younger people (YP) estimated their performance before and following each of four tests of memory. Those with AD significantly overestimated performance prior to testing, confirming the presence of unawareness for prediction. Their estimates were adjusted for age in a similar way to those of OP, who predicted their performance accurately. Younger people significantly underestimated their performance. Following memory tests, YP and those with AD significantly adjusted their ratings towards greater accuracy but on average those with AD still overestimated. There were variations in post-test ratings from over to under prediction in all three groups. Heightened awareness post-performance may open possibilities of cognitive rehabilitation to consolidate momentary into more long-term awareness, whilst the operation of possible psychosocial influences suggests that emotion oriented interventions to increase acceptance and decrease shame might be helpful. ... http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/Aging Ment Health. 2007 Nov;11(6):761-7
