Sažetak

The progress in disease prevention and health care has prolonged life expectancy, thus increasing the global disease burden. The non-communicable diseases such as arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus and dementia have been recognized as an inadequately clarified problem in the population all over the world. Senile dementia is an irreversible condition manifested by progressive decline of cognitive functions and considered as one of the leading health problems today. Proper care for this fragile population requires interdisciplinary approach because the pathophysiological events are underlain by hyperinsulinemia and oxidative stress at the whole body level rather than isolated to a single organ.
