One of the most complex and challenging developments at the beginning of the third millennium is the alarming increase in demographic aging, mainly-but not exclusively-affecting developed countries. This reality results in one of the harsh medical, social, and economic consequences: the continuously increasing number of people with dementia, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), which accounts for up to 80% of all such types of pathology. Its large and progressive disabling potential, which eventually leads to death, therefore represents an important public health matter, especially because there is no known cure for this disease. Consequently, periodic reappraisals of different therapeutic possibilities are necessary. For this purpose, we conducted this systematic literature review investigating nonpharmacological interventions for AD, including their currently known cellular and molecular action bases. This endeavor was based on the PRISMA method, by which we selected 116 eligible articles published during the last year. Because of the unfortunate lack of effective treatments for AD, it is necessary to enhance efforts toward identifying and improving various therapeutic and rehabilitative approaches, as well as related prophylactic measures.
在第三个千年之初,最复杂和最具挑战性的发展之一是人口老龄化的惊人增长,主要 - 但不仅限于 - 影响发达国家。这一现实导致了严峻的医疗、社会和经济后果之一:痴呆症患者人数不断增加,包括阿尔茨海默病(AD),占所有此类病理类型的 80%。其潜在的致残性很大,最终导致死亡,因此是一个重要的公共卫生问题,特别是因为这种疾病没有已知的治愈方法。因此,有必要定期重新评估不同的治疗可能性。为此,我们进行了这项系统的文献综述,研究了针对 AD 的非药物干预措施,包括其目前已知的细胞和分子作用基础。这项工作是基于 PRISMA 方法进行的,我们选择了过去一年发表的 116 篇合格文章。由于 AD 缺乏有效的治疗方法,因此有必要加强努力,以确定和改善各种治疗和康复方法,以及相关的预防措施。
