  Speaker 1: You know, I'm coming another day closer. Next Saturday, a
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: week from tomorrow, I will be lecturing on brain health
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: and longevity. Now a new study comes out that says
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: more than 57 million people across the world are hit
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: with dementia. 57 million. And that level is supposed to
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: double globally by 2050. What in God's name is going on?
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Stay tuned.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Hi and welcome to Health Talk with Dr. Len, your
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: daily dose. The information you hear on this show is informational.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: It's not meant to diagnose or treat any disease.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Any kind of complete health conditions must be checked out
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: and discussed with your primary care physician.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Get ready for the good news of the day. God
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: bless you folks. And here is Dr. Len.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Our devotional for today daily comes from the book of
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Psalms chapter 34. Look to me continually for help, comfort,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: and companionship. Because I'm always by your side, the briefest
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: glance can connect you with me. When you look to
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: me for help, it flows freely from my presence. This
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: recognition of your need for me in small matters as
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: well as large ones keeps you spiritually alive. When you
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: need comfort, I love to unfold you in my arms.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: I enable you not only to feel comforted, but also
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: to be a channel through whom I comfort others. Thus
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: you are doubly blessed, because a living channel absorbs some
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: of whatever flows through it. My constant companionship is the
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: piece de resistance, the summit of salvation blessings. No matter
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: what losses you experience in your life, no one can
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: take away this glorious gift. Stay tuned. 727-916-4215 to get
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: a hold of me. The website drlenjb.com drlenjb.com The number
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: of new annual dementia cases worldwide is estimated to increase
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: more than two-fold by 2050. From 2023 levels, according to
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: a recently published peer-reviewed study published in JAMA Neurology Journal,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: the study analyzed data from more than 38,000 individuals across
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: 18 nations and territories. Based on the calculated incidence of dementia,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: researchers estimated that in 2050 there would be two 24.7
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: million new cases worldwide, up more than 116% from the 11.4
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: million new cases in 2023. Got to highlight that in pink. Gender-wise,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: incident rates were found higher among women than men. Middle-income
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: and lower-income nations had higher rates. In an October 13 statement,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: the University of New South Wales-Sydney whose researchers led the study,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: said that dementia already affects more than 57 million people globally.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Professor Henry Bodity, co-author of the study, said in a statement,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: the findings reinforce the urgent need to invest in dementia
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: prevention measures. 24 million new cases of dementia every year
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: would place enormous pressure on individuals, families, health systems, and
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: economy around the world. Population aging mean we cannot simply
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: wait for people to develop dementia then respond, and we
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: don't have anything medically to respond with. We need to
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: act across the spectrum from reducing modifiable risk factors and
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: identifying people at risk earlier through to improving diagnosis, treatment,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: and care. Understanding incident rate was critical as it estimates
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: future demand for diagnoses and clinical care while contributing to
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: preparing the prerequisite preventative measures. Professor Perminder, senior author of
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: the study, said that the higher incident rates in low-
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: and middle-income nations were particularly concerning because these regions are
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: experiencing rapid population aging, often having the fewest resources for prevention, diagnosis,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: and care. Dementia is used to describe a decline in
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: mental ability that interferes with daily life, the most common
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: type being Alzheimer's. The sooner you can diagnose dementia, the
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: sooner you can begin to treat it, to slow its progression,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: says the CDC. Dementia affects more than 6 million Americans
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: and is the reason for more than 100,000 deaths annually.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Gotta highlight that.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Researchers estimate that 42% of Americans above age 55 could
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: eventually end up developing.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Dementia.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Some of the risk factors for dementia include lack of
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: physical activity, alcohol, tobacco use, high blood pressure, uncontrolled diabetes,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: loss of hearing, according to the CDC. The agency recommends
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: engaging in physical activity regularly to help prevent, delay, or
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: manage chronic medical conditions such as dementia. It asks people
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: to avoid and restrict smoking and alcohol consumption. High blood
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: pressure can damage blood vessels and limit blood flow to
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: the brain, which does damage the brain. It also increases
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: the risk of having a stroke, which could damage the brain.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Maintaining a healthy weight and taking your prescribed blood pressure
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: meds can help. Meanwhile, researchers are investigating new methods for
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: identifying dementia risk earlier. A study published in JAMA Network
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Open found that a blood test could help predict dementia
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: among women up to 25 years before symptom onset. The
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: study analyzed blood samples of females for plasma P-TAL217 a
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: type of protein that indicates early brain changes associated with Alzheimer's.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: We observed a three-fold higher hazard of all-cause dementia with
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: higher baseline P-tau 217 levels. The association of that blood
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: lab with mild cognitive impairment or dementia was greater among
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: women older than 70. There's a whole series of different
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: nutrient factors that can help. Fish oil, we have a
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: specific brain support prep. SPMs, again, an advanced fish oil.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Lowering inflammation. Helping to control the blood sugar and blood
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: pressure better. All add up to better help in preserving
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: brain functionality. Want help with that?

  Speaker 2: Give a call. 727-916-4215.

  Speaker 1: All right, folks, God bless you.
