Fish eaters stay sharper with age.

Presenting medical related data whether it is epidemiological, trial based, case study oriented, or descriptive study-based must be well defined, succinct, properly analyzed, and cautiously controlled. The author or authors of the present online article chose to report on the benefits of eating fish with respect to delay the decline of mental abilities and heart disease of individuals 65 years of age and older.
The material and information presented by the writer leads the reader to believe that eating a certain amount of fish on a weakly basis lowers the risk of stroke, Alzheimer's, heart disease, and the decline of mental abilities. Support for this line of reasoning was noted by way of a research investigative study conducted by researchers in Chicago. The research investigators concluded that although a certain percentage decline in lowered mental abilities was halted it was not necessarily reliable due to the possibility of questionnaire error and the lack of sufficient evidence linking brain decline and the eating of omega-3 fatty acids. Unfortunately the research investigators reporting on the Chicago study confused the latter issue by stating that there might well be something else in eating fish that assists in keeping the human mind sharp and, according to Dr. William E. Connor, testing the blood for omega-3 fatty acids should have taken place.
For this reviewer the information presented in the article can best be classified as an editorial presentation in the most general of terms. There is no exculpatory information to lead the reader to believe that omega-3 fatty acids do or do not improve brain functioning. More importantly the author or authors of the chosen CNN.com article failed to identify the journal source of the data, the publication date and the main articles research question and testable hypothesis. Not having this information provides the reader with no scientific information upon which the CNN.com article was written, presented, and conclusions made. Such articles are of little scientific value and can best be described as general reading material.
In light of the knowledge provided by these case studies, it is important to note certain flaws in the methodology of each cases study. The study in the case of midlife neuroticism, the researchers do not take into account pre- existing conditions such the brain structure and function associated with greater neuroticism. Failure to proper diagnosis might lead to early presentation of Alzheimer's disease in response to pathology. As for
Alzheimer's This brief report is a summary and review of the rather nasty degenerative brain disorder that is known as Alzheimer's. The disease has been known about for a decent amount of time but the overall progress come to when it comes to preventing or curing the disorder has become remained frustratingly slow. Even so, progress is indeed being made and more is now known about the disorder than was before.
Problem StatementThe problem to be addressed in this study is Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a debilitating and progressive neurodegenerative disorder estimated to affect over 5 million women in the United States, yet recent research has shown that many cases go undiagnosed (Royse et al., 2021). Dubois et al. (2021) have shown, as well, that diagnosing AD remains a critical challenge for physicians. This leads to significant health inequalities for American
Scientists are racing to find a cure as millions of people reach the age when Alzheimer's is most commonly manifested (Plontz). Experts are still trying to fully understand the cause or causes of Alzheimer's disease. In the meantime, it's helpful to understand the hallmarks of Alzheimer's -- plaques and tangles -- and the risk factors that affect a person's likelihood of developing the disease (Hill). Alzheimer's disease is characterized by a
Elder Adults Alzheimer's disease is a brain disease that is irreversible and progressive which destroys memory and thinking skills slowly and eventually the ability of carrying out even the simplest tests.in most people with Alzheimer's, the symptoms first appear when one is over the age of 60 years. This is the most common cause of dementia among old people (Alzheimer's Association,2012). Diagnosis of Alzheimer's in elderly adult As we have seen, age
