Of course not everyone wants to have skin cancer. Everyone must try to avoid and prevent it. But a new study suggests that having a non-melanoma skin cancer may reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease.
Study participants who had been diagnosed with non-melanoma skin cancer is known to have a 80 percent lower risk of developing Alzheimer's compared with those who did not have skin cancer, according to researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York.
The results obtained after the researchers observed 1,102 people aged 70 years or older during 3.7 years. They check the health of the skin associated with cancer and Alzheimer's disease brain, as reported by Live Science.
At baseline, no participants who have dementia or Alzheimer's, while da 109 people diagnosed have non-melanoma skin cancer before.
During the research, it is known that 32 people had one type of skin cancer. While 126 people were known to develop dementia. Researchers found that there were only two participants with non-melanoma skin cancers are developing Alzheimer's disease.
Even so researchers did not observe the possibility of a link between melanoma and Alzheimer's because not enough participants who had the skin cancer, said Dr. Richard Lipton of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
Results of this study does not mean you have to avoid getting skin cancer to the brain such as Alzheimer's disease or dementia. It would be very nice if you could protect yourself from both diseases. still use sunscreen when traveling in the sun and doing a healthy lifestyle and continue to hone the sharpness of the brain to ward off brain disease.
