Indians are less susceptible to Alzheimer’s disease than those in the West, according to a recent study. The reason for this is apparently lower cholesterol levels among Indians, particularly those in rural areas. While this is good news for the elderly who are most vulnerable to the disease, much more research needs to be done on the prevalence of this ailment in India since most people are reluctant to disclose that their ageing relatives are affected by Alzheimer’s. The symptoms of this progressive brain disease are dementia and impairment of the memory, intellect and personality. Among Most Indian families, a person suffering from the disease would be treated much in the manner of an embarrassing eccentric to be bundled out of sight when guests come calling.
It is only recently that people have begun to accept that the forgetfulness and disturbing behavioral patterns could actually be the result of a medical condition. Though there is no cure for Alzheimer’s, some of its symptoms can be relieved by timely treatment. However, the study has focused on people in rural areas whose diet is far more Spartan than that of their urban counterparts, who are likely to have higher cholesterol levels. But with food habits rapidly changing from the traditional vegetarian, high –fibre diet to a richer one, the level of cholesterol is likely to rise and with it the attendant risk of not just Alzheimer’s but also coronary diseases. But the fact that over three million Indians suffer from Alzheimer’s focuses attention on the social and medical problems which affect the aged in India.
Another killer disease which is increasingly affecting the elderly is AIDS. Around 11 percent of those who test positive for HIV are over 50. Given that this is the UN’s year of the Older Person, the government had earlier unveiled its draft policy for the elderly which was meant to address their special needs. But, of course, as with many such policies, its comprehensive provisions have remained only on paper. Among them were expanded old age pension schemes and subsidized health care. The health aspect is particularly worrying since older people are marginalized within the family structure. This means that their health requirements do not get the same priority as those considered to be more ‘productive’.
In fact, there is growing evidence that the aged are subject to vicious forms of abuse within the family ranging from verbal insults and deprivation of food to being thrown out of the home altogether. Since nuclear families are increasingly unwilling to take care of their elderly relatives, especially if the person is suffering from an irreversible disease like Alzheimer ’s, there is urgent need to heighten awareness of the potential traumas of old age. Homes for the aged with adequate recreational and medical facilities are still restricted to the upper end of society. Those who live alone find themselves coping not just with the morbidities of age but with the very real threat of criminal attack. The government is unable to implement its own proposal for the aged in its entirety. Forcing an unwilling society to look after its elderly is arguably not the best solution. But at the moment, given the woeful lack of health and social support structures, this is the only workable option.
