Reduce the risk of dementia with new WHO guidelines

The World Health Organization (WHO) has issued its inaugural guidelines for reducing the risk of dementia. According to the estimates of WHO, dementia cases are expected to triple in the next 30 years. Dementia is an umbrella term for various symptoms that leads to a decline in your thinking capability, memory, behaviour, affecting your daily routine. The world body cites that Alzheimer’s accounts for around 60-70 per cent of all the cases of dementia across the globe. Initially, you will lose the track of time and forget things, but as the condition reaches into the next phase, you might experience difficulty to communicate, forgetting recent events and names of people. In the last stage, you will not be able to recognise your family members, confusion regarding time and place and even experience difficulty in walking. There is no cure for this condition, however, with the new guidelines of WHO, you can reduce your risk developing dementia.

Keeping your weight in check: Being overweight can make you susceptible to a number of health complications and dementia is one among them. The world health body suggests that managing your weight can significantly help you lower your risk of developing dementia.

Manage your blood sugar and blood pressure: The last guideline highlights that you should maintain your blood pressure and blood sugar levels in order to reduce your risk of developing dementia.

Eat mindfully: To keep your brain sharp, you need to maintain healthy eating habits. WHO specifically highlighted Mediterranean diet that can help you reduce your risk of dementia.

Limit your alcohol intake: Excessive alcohol can have detrimental effects on your body and in some cases on your brain. This damage can lead to a condition known as alcohol-related dementia.

Not smoking: The toxins inside a cigarette can increase oxidative stress and inflammation that can up your risk of dementia. WHO recommends that quitting smoking might reduce your possibility of developing this condition.

Regular exercising:Regular exercise can give you various health benefits, but according to WHO, it can also curb your chances of cognitive decline.

Researchers create new pill to treat diabetes and help patients lose weight

A team of researchers has recently created a new pill that can significantly improve the health of people with diabetes and help to shed those extra kilos from their waistlines. The findings indicated that among patients with type 2 diabetes, the drug semaglutide taken by pill resulted in better glycemic control than placebo over 26 weeks. The results from 632 patients indicated that semaglutide allowed 71 percent of them to shed pounds. It is believed this is the first type 2 diabetes pill to instigate weight loss.

Although several type 2 diabetes treatments are available, therapy selection involves consideration of the risks of adverse effects such as hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) or weight gain and complexity of treatment. The oral formulation of semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists (a class of drugs used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes), may improve acceptance and adherence for some patients compared with the injectable formulation of GLP-1 receptor agonists. Scientists randomly assigned 632 patients with Type-2 diabetes and insufficient glycemic control to different doses and dose escalation of once-daily oral semaglutide; oral placebo; or once-weekly semaglutide by injection (subcutaneous) for 26 weeks.

They found that average change in haemoglobin Alc (HbA1c) level, from baseline to week 26, decreased with oral semaglutide and subcutaneous semaglutide and placebo; oral semaglutide reductions were significant vs placebo. From an average baseline HbA1c level of 7.9 percent, between 44 percent and 90 percent of patients receiving oral semaglutide achieved the target HbA1c level of less than seven percent. Clinically relevant (five percent or more) weight loss was achieved in up to 71 percent of patients receiving oral semaglutide.
