Kuleli sonto sibuza odokotela kanye nabameli be-Alzheimer's ukuthi kungani izinombolo ze-Alzheimer's zibhekiselwa kwabesifazane kuze kube manje. 2/3's amacala abikiwe e-Alzheimer's eMelika ngabesifazane! Lokho kubonakala kuyindaba enkulu kodwa qhubeka ufunda ukuze uthole ukuthi kungani...
UMike McIntyre:
Besikhuluma no U-Joan Euronus, one-Alzheimer's, watholakala eneminyaka engu-62 ubudala. Ngaphambi kwalokho sake safonelwa indoda okuthiwa uBob owayengudadewabo kadadewabo owashona enhlekeleleni ehlobene nesifo sakhe i-Alzheimer's. Sithole olunye ucingo mayelana nomuntu okhathazekile ngomama wabo oneminyaka engama-84. Ngiyaqaphela: wesifazane, wesifazane, wesifazane, futhi ngiyazibuza ukuthi ngabe lesi sifo esivame kakhulu kwabesifazane kunabesilisa ungasikhanyisela ngalokho?

Ngicabanga ukuthi kunobufakazi obanele manje bokuthi abesifazane basengozini ethe ukukhuphuka yesifo i-Alzheimer's. Umehluko awumangazi kakhulu kukhona amadoda amaningi athola lesi sifo kodwa kunengozi encane yokwanda kwabesifazane ngaphezu kwabesilisa.
UMike McIntyre:
Mayelana nengozi bengibheka ezinye zezinombolo kanye no-2/3 wezinombolo zamaMelika anesifo i-Alzheimer's ngabesifazane, ingabe lokho kuyinto engaqhubeki nokuthambekela? Ngoba u-2/3's ubonakala njengenombolo ebalulekile.
UDkt. Leverenz :
Kukhona into ebizwa ngokuthi a ukuzimela kokusinda lapha okuwukuthi abesifazane bavame ukuphila isikhathi eside futhi ubudala buyingozi enkulu yesifo i-Alzheimer's. Uhlanganisa lezo zinombolo ezimbili futhi ubona abesifazane abaningi abane-Alzheimer's abaningi kunabesilisa ngoba basinda baze bafinyelele ebudaleni obudala lapho bengathola khona lesi sifo.

Ngicabanga ukuthi enye yezinto ezimangaza abantu lapho bezwa lokhu yilapho owesifazane oseminyakeni yawo-60 enethuba eliphindwe kabili ekuphileni kwakhe lokuba nesifo i-Alzheimer kunomdlavuza wamabele. Nokho bonke abesifazane bayakukhathalela lokho futhi imali eningi ifakwa ekucwaningeni umdlavuza webele kodwa nokho amathuba amangalisayo ayamangaza ngempela.
