摘要
本文对高海拔地区老年期痴呆的检出方法及其部分相关因素进行了初步探讨,我们应用长谷川痴呆量表(HDS),对208例60岁以上高退休老年人进行测试,从中检出老年期痴呆48例,其中阿尔采默氏病27例,血管姓痴呆21例(均包括轻压痴呆),与临床诊断符合率良好,并就发病率,及年龄,文化程度,慢性缺氧等因素进行了初步调查。认为高海拔地区本病发病率较内地略高,以阿尔米默氏病为主,血管性痴呆次之,除一些公认的致病因素外,长期慢性缺氧亦是不可忽视的因素之一。
OBJECTIVES To investigate the value of Hasegawa's dementia scale(HDS)and tounderstand the incidence of dementia elderly(DE)208 older inhabitants living at high altitudewere investigated for screening dementia by HDS.48 cases with DE was found,among whom 27were with Alzheimer's disease(AD)and 21 were multiinfarct dementia(MID).The HDS showedhigh correct diagnostic rate in diagnosing dementia elderly at high altitude.The relation of DEwith age,cuItural level and chronic hypoxia was also investigated.The incidence of DE at high al-titude was higher than that at lowland.HDS was a practical and valuable tool for clinically di-agnosing DE and chronic hypoxia was one of the important factors related to DE.
