HD Focus: News Across the Globe

Komisia Lancet 2024 zaoberajúca sa prevenciou demencie, zozbierala z množstva štúdií 14 užitočných rád, ktoré môže pomôcť aj pre Huntingtonovej chorobe udržať mozog dlhšie zdravý.  1, Vzdelávať sa. Učenie je prospešné pre stimuláciu mozgu. U ľudia z vyšším vzdelaním  je počet prípadov demecie o 5% nižší. 2, Strata sluchu je ďalším rizikovým faktorom. Riešenie tohoto …

In this article, we’re bringing you advice from the 2024 Lancet Commission on dementia prevention, intervention, and care - a group of experts who have combed through massive amounts of previous research collected over decades to highlight 14 risk factors associated with dementia. The good news? Those 14 factors are things that can be modified. So making lifestyle changes around the factors identified here can help improve brain health, and potentially keep people that have the gene for Huntington’s disease (HD) healthy for longer.

Dementia vs HD

While HD and dementia may have different root causes, underlying factors that are beneficial for one will be beneficial for the other. Dementia is a general term for a reduced cognitive ability - the ability to think, remember, and reason.

A reduction in cognition is only one component of HD, which is caused by an inherited expansion of the genetic code in the huntingtin (HTT) gene. HD also affects a person’s mood and has a movement component similar to Parkinson’s disease, called chorea.

Today, on International Ataxia Awareness Day, we’re bringing awareness to a group of brain disorders known as Ataxia, which can take many forms. Like Huntington’s disease (HD), Ataxia is degenerative; it damages brain cells, causes changes in movement, and involves complex symptoms that worsen over time. HD and some forms of Ataxia have a shared genetic origin, and we’ll talk about medical and research overlap.

What is Ataxia?

Like HD, Ataxia is a rare form of neurological disease. It can lead to a variety of symptoms including lack of coordination, slurred speech, and difficulty walking - this can appear similar to the effects of alcohol. Ataxia is usually caused by damage to a part of the brain that coordinates movement, known as the cerebellum, which is located at the back of the head right above the neck.
