Resumen
[ES] En las últimas décadas, la población española de 65 años y más se ha incrementado de forma considerable debido principalmente al aumento de la esperanza de vida y al descenso de la tasa de natalidad. Este envejecimiento de la población comporta un aumento notable de enfermedades neurodegenerativas, en especial de la enfermedad de Alzheimer.
En concreto, se estima que 46,8 millones de personas sufrían demencia en todo el mundo en 2015 y, a menos que se encuentre un tratamiento eficaz que pueda curar la enfermedad, se calcula que para el año 2050 la cifra se triplique, alcanzando 131,5 millones de personas. Sin embargo, se ha demostrado en numerosos estudios que se puede reducir el riesgo de desarrollar la enfermedad llevando un estilo de vida saludable.
En este sentido, en el presente Trabajo Fin de Máster se ha realizado una revisión bibliográfica sobre la lectura como factor fundamental en la prevención de la enfermedad de Alzheimer. De manera que, el hábito de la lectura aumenta la reserva cognitiva, lo que permite ralentizar el proceso de la enfermedad manteniendo durante más tiempo las capacidades cognitivas y, por tanto, mejora la calidad de vida.
[EN] On the last decades, Spanish population over 65 years old has been increased considerably due to the increase in life expectancy and to the fall over fecundity tendencies. This ageing of the population entails a notable increase of neurodegenerative diseases, mainly of Alzheimer’s disease. The current estimations show that 46, 8 million people suffered dementia at global scale in 2015. Moreover, if a cure to Alzheimer is not developed, the expected rates of affected people will be triplicated, arriving to 131,5 million affected. However, numerous studies have shown that the risk factors of Alzheimer can be reduced by following a healthy way of life. In this sense, on the present Final Master Project we have done a detailed analysis of the most recent studies to focus on the lecture as a fundamental factor for preventing Alzheimer’s Disease. We have found that the habit of lecture increases the cognitive reserve, which slows down cognitive abilities degradation progression in patients also helping to keep a better life conditions.
