核心提示：英国慈善组织警告称，老年痴呆症将超过艾滋病和癌症成为更应该引起关注的疾病。数据显示英当前有82万人患此病，研究者预测未来15-20年，英国或将有100万人患上老年痴呆症，到2051年这一数字将增加至170万。
2008年，特里·普拉切特爵士将请愿书带到唐宁街。
英国《每日电讯报》报道，英国慈善组织警告称，除非在研究如何诊断和治疗阿尔茨海默氏症（老年痴呆症）方面与对抗爱滋病的斗争一样积极，否则的话，英国将面临一场“痴呆灾难”。研究发现，担心患上这种大脑退化型疾病的人数超过担心患上癌症的人数。
数据显示，英国在20年内将有多达100万人患上某种类型的痴呆症，三分之一的领养老金者将死于这种疾病。英国每年用于癌症研究的投入是阿尔茨海默氏症的12倍，参与研究如何治疗肿瘤的科学家人数是研究治疗阿尔茨海默氏症的科学家的6倍。目前，英国有多达三分之二的痴呆症患者从未得到确诊，最理想的治疗手段也只能帮助缓解症状而无法阻止病情恶化。
慈善组织“英国阿尔茨海默氏症研究”发起了一项行动，旨在提高在研究这种痴呆症方面“低得令人同情”的投入。特里·普拉切特爵士（即阿兹海默症研究组织的资助人）表示：“患上阿尔茨海默氏症是一种灾难，患病人数众多，这种疾病通常悄无声息地出现。尽管很多人患有这种疾病，但整个社会并未给予足够的关注。”
普拉切特是这家慈善组织的资助人，现已出现阿尔茨海默氏症早期症状。他指出：“在上世纪80年代整个世界被HIV（爱滋病病毒）震惊时，我们进行了大量研究，最终在很大程度上帮助驯服这种病毒。我们需要采取同样的做法，积极研究如何治疗阿尔茨海默氏症。”
英国当前有82万人据信患有痴呆症，他们逐渐丧失记忆，同时越发难于应对日常活动。造成痴呆的最常见原因就是阿尔茨海默氏症。未来15年，随着人口老龄化，英国可能将有多达100万人患上阿尔茨海默氏症，截至2051年，这一数字将增至170万，对非正式护理人员、英国国民健康保险制度和敬老院带来沉重负担。
调查机构YouGov一项由2000多人参与的调查发现，有31%的人最担心年老时患上痴呆症，相比之下，最担心患上癌症的人的比例为27%，最担心死亡的人的比例为18%。英国阿尔茨海默氏症研究的正式名称为“阿尔茨海默氏症研究基金”，根据他们的估计，痴呆症每年造成的经济损失高达230亿英镑，超过癌症和心脏病的总和，前者造成的经济损失为120亿英镑，后者为80亿英镑。
阿尔茨海默氏症研究基金指出，每年用于寻找更理想的阿尔茨海默氏症诊断和治疗手段的资金只有区区5000万英镑，相比之下，用于癌症研究的资金为5.9亿英镑，用于心脏病研究的资金则为1.69亿英镑。目前，研究人员正试图让一种用于阿尔茨海默氏症的简单血液检测方式趋于完美——早期诊断可能有助于更好地控制病情。虽然研发出几种用于帮助阿尔茨海默氏症患者的药物，但它们只能缓解症状，而无法遏制大脑退化过程。
阿尔茨海默氏症研究目前正呼吁公众、政府首脑和私营企业帮助提高相关研究投入。其首席执行官丽贝卡·伍德表示：“公众对痴呆症的担忧一直非常高涨，但有关痴呆症的研究仍旧少得可怜。英国拥有大量这方面的人才，能够为抗击和战胜痴呆症提供很多帮助。”她指出这家慈善组织利用公众捐款资助了数百位科学家，然而，即使政府也参与其中，有关痴呆症的研究仍远远落后于其他疾病。
阿尔茨海默氏症学会首席执行官杰里米·休斯表示：“痴呆症是英国面临的最大挑战之一，人们有理由陷入担忧之中。这是一种破坏性极大的疾病，让患者的生活陷入灾难。合理的治疗以及相关支持能够让痴呆症患者生活的更好。我们必须积极应对这一挑战，加大研究投入和相关支持，否则便有可能面临一场痴呆灾难。”
英国负责保健服务的大臣保罗·伯斯托对此持赞同态度。他承诺政府将为有关痴呆症护理、治疗和成因的研究提供必要帮助。“卫生部今年的研究预算接近10亿英镑。我希望提供更多资金，资助痴呆症研究。但只有研究建议的数量和质量符合相关标准，并证明增加投入是一种合理做法的情况下，我们才会这么做。” （来源：每日邮报 编译：shooter 网易探索独家编译，未经许可请勿转载）

Core Tip: British charity warned, Alzheimer's disease will be more than AIDS and cancer as a cause for concern should the disease. Data show that 82 million people in Britain currently have this disease, the researchers predict the next 15-20 years, there will be 100 million people in the United Kingdom or suffering dementia, to 2051 this number will increase to 170 million.
In 2008, Tripp Lace special petition to the Downing Street Jazz will.
British "Daily Telegraph" reported that the British charity warned that unless the study how to diagnose and treat Alzheimer's disease (Alzheimer's) side and the fight against AIDS as positive, otherwise the UK will face a "dementia disaster." Study found that worry about suffering from this disease, the brain degenerate over the number of people worried about cancer.
Data showed the UK in 20 years as many as 100 million people suffer from some type of dementia, one third of pensioners will die of the disease. Cancer Research UK investment in a year for Alzheimer's disease is 12 times, participated in the study how to treat the number of scientists to study cancer treatment of Alzheimer's disease, scientists of 6 times. Currently, there are as many as two-thirds of the UK with dementia have never been diagnosed, the best treatment can only help relieve symptoms and can not stop the disease progression.
Charitable organization "United Kingdom Alzheimer's research" has launched an initiative aimed at improving aspects of Alzheimer's disease in the study this "pitiful low" inputs. Tripp Lace special jazz (ie, Alzheimer's disease research organizations, funding people), said: "suffering from Alzheimer's disease is a disaster, large number of patients, the disease usually quietly appears. Although many people suffer from this disease, but the whole community does not pay enough attention. "
Pula Chet is funding this charity who has early symptoms of Alzheimer's disease appear. He said: "In the 80s of last century the world is HIV (AIDS virus) shock, we conducted extensive research and, ultimately, largely to help tame the virus. We need to take the same approach, actively exploring how to treat al- Alzheimer's disease. "
Britain currently has 82 million people are believed to suffer from dementia, their gradual loss of memory, while more and more difficult to cope with daily activities. Cause the most common cause of dementia is Alzheimer's disease. The next 15 years, as the population ages, the United Kingdom may be as many as 100 million people suffer from Alzheimer's disease, as of 2051, this number will increase to 1.7 million, for informal caregivers, the United Kingdom National Health insurance system and a heavy burden on nursing homes.
Agency YouGov survey of 2000 people took part in a survey found that 31% of the people most worried about suffering from dementia in old age, compared to most worried about the proportion of people suffering from cancer, 27%, the most worried about death the proportion of people was 18%. Alzheimer's disease research British official name is "Alzheimer's Research Fund", according to their estimates, dementia caused economic losses each year up to 230 million pounds, more than the sum of cancer and heart disease, than the former, economic losses of 120 million pounds, which is 80 billion pounds.
Alzheimer's Disease Research Fund, pointed out that the search for a better year for Alzheimer's disease diagnosis and treatment of capital only a few 50 million pounds, compared to funds for cancer research for the 590 million pounds for heart disease research funds, compared with 169 million pounds. Currently, researchers are trying to get one for Alzheimer's blood test a simple way to become perfect - early diagnosis may help to better control the disease. Although several developed to help patients with Alzheimer's disease drugs, but they can only relieve symptoms, but could not stop the process of brain degeneration.
Alzheimer's disease research is currently being appealed to the public, government leaders and the private sector to help increase research investment. Its chief executive 丽贝卡伍德 said: "Public concern about Alzheimer's disease has been very high, but the dementia research is still woefully inadequate. Britain has a large number of people in this area, able to provide combat and overcome many of dementia help. "She pointed out that this charitable organization funded by public donations, hundreds of scientists, however, even if the Government were also involved, the research on dementia is still lagging far behind other diseases.
Alzheimer's Society chief executive Jeremy Hughes said: "Dementia is one of the greatest challenges facing the UK, there is reason to worry about being caught. This is a devastating disease that of life of patients into disaster. a reasonable treatment and related support can make a better life in patients with Alzheimer's disease. We must actively respond to this challenge, increase research investment and related support, or dementia, there may be facing a disaster. "
British minister responsible for health care insurance who agree with this attitude of Robert Stowe. He promised that the Government will be about dementia care, treatment and causes of the necessary assistance. "The Ministry of Health research budget this year, close to 10 billion pounds. I hope to provide more funding for dementia research. But only the quantity and quality of research proposals comply with the relevant standards, and proven to increase investment is a reasonable approach, we will do.
