UCL研究发现,六种中年精神症状在几十年后增加了痴呆症的风险。 Six midlife mental symptoms raise dementia risk decades later, UCL study finds.

伦敦大学学院对5 811名成人进行的一项研究发现,六种中年症状 -- -- 丧失自信、难以应付问题、降低对他人的温暖、持续紧张、对任务表现不满和集中处理麻烦 -- -- 与几十年后患痴呆症的风险较高有关,风险增加29%至51%。 A University College London study of 5,811 adults found that six midlife symptoms—loss of self-confidence, difficulty coping with problems, reduced warmth toward others, constant nervousness, dissatisfaction with task performance, and trouble concentrating—are linked to a higher risk of dementia decades later, with risks increasing by 29% to 51%. 这项研究基于英国怀特霍尔第二研究所23年来的数据表明,这些症状可能预示早期神经退化变化,而不是一般抑郁症。 The research, based on data from the UK Whitehall II study over 23 years, suggests these symptoms may signal early neurodegenerative changes rather than general depression. 它们虽然本身无法预测,但突出了监测中年心理健康作为长期脑健康战略的一部分的重要性。 While not predictive on their own, they highlight the importance of monitoring midlife mental health as part of long-term brain health strategies.
