His father said that his comrade’s mother also suffered from Alzheimer’s… Huang Boyu inherited the fear for many years

Famous Chinese actor Huang Bo recently appeared on a talk show.a heat wave Lu Yu, the host of “Beyond”, talked about his parents’ experience of suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, which aroused widespread attention and discussion in the society. Huang Bo revealed that his father had died due to illness, and he could not even recognize him in his later years, and only politely called him “old comrade”; Now his mother is also suffering from this disease and her memory is gradually disappearing.

In his early years, Huang Bo shared in the program that his father could not recognize his past. At that time he also expressed the sentiment, “It would be great if he could still beat me.” He expressed the grief of countless caregivers. They also mentioned that caregivers may be responsible for daily care, but they cannot replace the emotional connection between relatives.

Huang Bo bluntly stated that because both of his parents were sick, he was most likely to have a “bidirectional genetic defect” and the probability of inheritance was very high. “I’ve been afraid of this for many years.” A friend had previously consoled her that if only one parent has the disease, it is an indirect genetic problem, and inheritance would be less likely. The genetic risk would be significantly increased if both parents were affected, but he said helplessly: “It seems that way to me.”

Yangcheng Evening News reported that in response to Huang Bo’s concerns and public doubts about Alzheimer’s disease, Yang Fei, deputy chief physician of the Department of Neurology at the General Hospital of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army, said that there are obvious differences in the clinical manifestations between normal amnesia and Alzheimer’s disease. General amnesia involves forgetting mostly details, but important events can still be remembered without affecting daily life even after being reminded by others. Amnesia of Alzheimer’s disease is like forgetting what you just said and being unable to remember it even when reminded. If amnesia occurs frequently and continues to worsen, and even affects your daily self-care ability such as cooking and going out, you should go to a hospital memory clinic for professional evaluation as soon as possible.

He explained that although people over the age of 65 are at higher risk of Alzheimer’s disease, early-onset cases are not unique to people in their forties, fifties or even younger.

Regarding the genetic issue that many people are most concerned about, Zhang Wei, director of the cognitive disorders department at Beijing Tiantan Hospital affiliated with Capital Medical University, said that 5% to 10% of Alzheimer’s disease may be passed on through genes to children, but this is not an absolute chance. The parents may first be taken to a regular medical institution for genetic testing. If you don’t have disease-causing genes or risk genes, your children don’t need to worry too much.
