摘要
According to the data from the 7th national population census,the population aged 65 and above in China has reached 13.50%,indicating that the country has entered a deeply aging society.The health issues of the elderly have become a significant concern for society.Common brain diseases among the elderly,including cerebrovascular diseases,genetic factors,or long-term solitary living,can all lead to dementia,with Alzheimer’s disease(AD)being the most common.Early symptoms of AD mainly include memory loss and difficulty concentrating,which are often mistaken for normal aging or stress-related issues and thus overlooked.AD lacks specific biomarkers and effective auxiliary diagnostic methods,making it difficult to accurately diagnose with existing imaging and neuroprotein indicators.Therefore,early detection of AD is very challenging.This article explores community-based early detection and intervention strategies from the perspectives of existing mechanism research,clinical manifestations,modern drug treatments,innovative explorations in traditional medicine,and community-appropriate technologies,aiming to construct an ecological management strategy.
