Keep the skin cancer from brain disease
Study participants who had been diagnosed with non-melanoma skin cancer is known to have a 80 percent lower risk of developing Alzheimers compared with those who did not have skin cancer, according to researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York.
The results obtained after the researchers observed 1,102 people aged 70 years or older during 3.7 years. They check the health of the skin associated with cancer and Alzheimers disease brain, as reported by Live Science.
At baseline, no participants who have dementia or Alzheimers, while da 109 people diagnosed have non-melanoma skin cancer before.
During the research, it is known that 32 people had one type of skin cancer. While 126 people were known to develop dementia. Researchers found that there were only two participants with non-melanoma skin cancers are developing Alzheimers disease.
Even so researchers did not observe the possibility of a link between melanoma and Alzheimers because not enough participants who had the skin cancer, said Dr. Richard Lipton of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
Results of this study does not mean you have to avoid getting skin cancer to the brain such as Alzheimers disease or dementia. It would be very nice if you could protect yourself from both diseases. still use sunscreen when traveling in the sun and doing a healthy lifestyle and continue to hone the sharpness of the brain to ward off brain disease.
