Type 3 diabetes is a proposed pathological linkage between Alzheimer's disease and certain features of type 1 and type 2 diabetes. [1] Specifically, the term refers to a set of common biochemical and metabolic features seen in the brain in Alzheimer's disease, and in other tissues in diabetes; [1] [2] it may thus be considered a "brain-specific type of diabetes."
The causes of Alzheimer's disease remain poorly understood. [16] There are many environmental and genetic risk factors associated with its development. The strongest genetic risk factor is from an allele of apolipoprotein E. [17] [18] Other risk factors include a history of head injury, clinical depression, and high blood pressure. [1]
Alzheimer's disease accounts for 60–70% of cases of dementia worldwide. The most common symptoms of Alzheimer's disease are short-term memory loss and word-finding difficulties. Trouble with visuospatial functioning (getting lost often), reasoning, judgment and insight fail. Insight refers to whether or not the person realizes they have ...
New research shows that adolescents and young adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes may be at higher risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. The findings align with increasing evidence showing a ...
One of the earliest signs of Alzheimer’s has more to do with one’s eating habits than it does being forgetful. Here, a neurologist explains what it is and other ways that Alzheimer’s disease ...
The loss of restorative sleep is now known to be a causative factor in many physical conditions (hypertension, diabetes), cognitive disorders (dementia, Alzheimer's), and psychological conditions ...
[90] [91] Since the emotional aspects such as distress and loss of control prove difficult to model in animals, the central feature of the binge eating disorder, was attempted to be mimicked. [81] Sham-feeding was the most prominent model used to study BED. [90] A Zucker rat which has developed diabetes due to a genetic disorder that causes ...
A new study suggests that early-onset diabetes may increase the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. Controlling diabetes with lifestyle changes or medication may help lower dementia risk, experts say.
