ZUSAMMENFASSUNG

Körperliche Erkrankungen wie arterielle Hypertonie, Typ-2-Diabetes-mellitus, Hyperhomozysteinämie und Hypercholesterinämie sind mit einem erhöhten Risiko für die Entwicklung einer Alzheimer-Demenz verbunden. Sie treten gehäuft bei Personen auf, die an Demenzprävention interessiert sind. Ein Nutzen der Behandlung dieser Risikofaktoren zur Demenzprävention erscheint wahrscheinlich, ist aber unterschiedlich gut belegt. Die Wirksamkeit der einzelnen Risikofaktoren und der präventive Nutzen ihrer Behandlung hängt vermutlich von verschiedenen Merkmalen der betreffenden Person ab, z. B. Geschlecht, Alter, medizinische Vorgeschichte und Apolipoprotein E-Genotyp. Daher sollten sinnvolle Präventionsempfehlungen im Sinne einer personalisierten Medizin diese Variablen berücksichtigen.

ABSTRACT

Physical diseases such as arterial hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hyperhomocysteinemia, and hypercholesterolemia are associated with an increased risk of developing Alzheimer’s dementia. These diseases are frequently found in persons interested in dementia prevention. An advantage in the treatment of these risk factors for dementia prevention seems likely but has different degrees of evidence. The impact of the individual risk factors and the preventive benefits of their treatment may depend on various characteristics of the person concerned, e. g. sex, age, medical history and apolipoprotein E genotype. Therefore, sensible prevention recommendations in terms of personalized medicine should take these variables into account.
