Ukubhema “kubola” ubuchopho ngokulimaza inkumbulo, ukufunda nokucabanga, ngokusho kwabacwaningi baseKing's College London.
Ucwaningo olwenziwa kubantu abangu-8,800 abangaphezu kweminyaka engama-50 lubonise umfutho wegazi ophakeme kanye nokukhuluphala ngokweqile kubonakala kuphazamisa ubuchopho, kodwa ngokwezinga elincane.
Ososayensi abathintekayo bathi abantu kufanele baqaphele ukuthi indlela yokuphila ingalimaza ingqondo nomzimba.
Ucwaningo lwabo lwashicilelwa kumagazini i-Age and Ageing.
Abacwaningi bakwaKing bebephenya izixhumanisi phakathi kwamathuba okuhlaselwa yinhliziyo noma unhlangothi kanye nesimo sobuchopho.
Idatha emayelana nempilo nendlela yokuphila yeqembu labaneminyaka engaphezu kuka-50 yaqoqwa futhi nokuhlolwa kobuchopho, okufana nokwenza ababambiqhaza bafunde amagama amasha noma basho izilwane eziningi ngendlela abangakwazi ngayo ngomzuzu, nakho kwenziwa.
Bonke baphinde bahlolwa ngemva kweminyaka emine kwalandela eyisishiyagalombili.
Yehla
Imiphumela yabonisa ukuthi ingozi iyonke yokuhlaselwa yinhliziyo noma unhlangothi "yayihlotshaniswa kakhulu nokuncipha kwengqondo" nalabo abasengozini enkulu ebonisa ukwehla okukhulu kakhulu.
Iphinde yathi kukhona “ukuhlangana okungaguquki” phakathi kokubhema namaphuzu aphansi ezivivinyweni.

Omunye wabacwaningi, uDkt Alex Dregan, uthe: “Ukuncipha komqondo kubanda kakhulu ngokuguga futhi ukwanda kwesibalo sabantu kuphazamisa ukusebenza nokuphila kwansuku zonke.
"Sihlonze izinto eziningi eziyingozi ezingase zihlotshaniswe nokuncipha okusheshayo komqondo, konke okungalungiseka."
Wengeze wathi: “Kudingeka senze abantu bazi ngesidingo sokwenza izinguquko ezithile endleleni yokuphila ngenxa yengozi yokuncipha kwengqondo.”
Abacwaningi abazi ukuthi ukwehla okunjalo kungabathinta kanjani abantu abaqhubeka nempilo yabo yansuku zonke. Futhi abaqiniseki ukuthi ukwehla kwangaphambi kwesikhathi ekusebenzeni kobuchopho kungaholela ezimeni ezifana nokuwohloka komqondo.
Inhliziyo nengqondo
UDkt Simon Ridley, we-Alzheimer's Research UK, uthe: “Ucwaningo seluphinde lwahlobanisa ukubhema nomfutho wegazi ophakeme engozini enkulu yokuncipha kwengqondo kanye nokuwohloka komqondo, futhi lolu cwaningo lwengeza isisindo kulobo bufakazi.
“Ukuwohloka komqondo njengoba sikhula kungase kukhule kube ukuwohloka komqondo, futhi ukudalula izici ezihlobene nalokhu kuncipha kungase kubaluleke kakhulu ekutholeni izindlela zokuvimbela lesi simo.
"Le miphumela igcizelela ukubaluleka kokunakekela impilo yakho yenhliziyo nemithambo yegazi kusukela uphakathi kwempilo."
I-Alzheimer's Society yathi: “Sonke siyazi ukuthi ukubhema, umfutho wegazi ophakeme, amazinga aphezulu e-cholesterol kanye ne-BMI [I-Body Mass Index] kuyingozi enhliziyweni yethu. Lolu cwaningo lwengeza esilinganisweni esikhulu sobufakazi obubuye buphakamise ukuthi bungaba bubi nasekhanda lethu.
“Umuntu oyedwa kwabathathu abaneminyaka engaphezu kuka-65 uzoba ne-dementia kodwa kunezinto abantu abangakwazi ukuzenza ukunciphisa ingozi yabo.
“Ukudla ukudla okunomsoco, ukulondoloza isisindo esinempilo, ukuvivinya umzimba njalo, ukuhlola umfutho wegazi ne-cholesterol yakho nokungabhemi konke kungenza umehluko.”
