互动翻转墙

衰老还是生病

动手翻翻就知道

走进展览，最吸引眼球的是一面巨大的互动翻转墙。每个方块上都写着一个日常可能遇到的“小困扰”——比如“常常找不到钥匙”或“逐渐听不懂复杂句子”。参观者可以亲手翻开方块，看看这究竟是正常衰老的表现，还是阿尔兹海默症的早期信号。这种有趣又直观的方式，让同学们在动手之间，轻松记住了关键区别。

三面主题海报+简易认知量表

知识也可以很实用

除此以外，本次展览还设置了三面干货满满的海报，分别帮助同学科学认识何为阿尔兹海默症，介绍了阿尔兹海默症相关症状，和阿尔兹海默症照护方面的专业知识。更贴心的是，本次展览还准备了许多简易认知量表，方便同学们帮助身边中老年群体进行初步筛查，提早防范疾病风险。

当下，大众普遍缺乏对早期阿尔兹海默症的辨别常识。除此之外，不少老年人因害怕疾病带来的偏见与污名化，刻意回避检查，错失早期科学干预的最佳时机，大幅降低晚年生活质量。愿本次科普展览，能够打破大众认知误区，引导师生以科学、理性的视角看待阿尔兹海默症，主动关注老年群体健康，用理解与关怀，为长者守护健康晚年。感谢李天然同学的用心策划，也期待更多同学用创意与行动，关注我们身边需要被看见的人群。

Population aging has become increasingly severe, and geriatric health issues have become more pronounced than ever, with Alzheimer’s Disease standing as one of the most pressing concerns. Recently, an exhibition focused on Alzheimer’s Disease was held in Shanghai Starriver Bilingual School, organized by Jason Li from 11-7.

To begin with, while both involve declines in physical and cognitive abilities, what is the difference between normal aging and Alzheimer’s disease?

The answer is that Alzheimer’s Disease is not a natural part of aging. Alzheimer’s Disease is a neurodegenerative disease that causes progressive deterioration in memory, language, judgment, and other cognitive functions at a rate far exceeding normal aging, disrupting their normal life. To clarify the difference between normal aging and early Alzheimer’s symptoms, the exhibition features an interactive flip wall. Each block displays a behavior (e.g., struggling to follow complex sentences or multi-step instructions) on one side and indicates whether it is a sign of normal aging or an indication of Alzheimer’s disease on the other. While entertaining the audience, it educates them interactively about the scientific knowledge of Alzheimer’s disease.

The exhibition also includes three informative posters. They help students gain a scientific understanding of Alzheimer’s Disease, introduce its typical symptoms, and offer professional knowledge about daily care for patients. Moreover, the exhibition provides the Montreal Cognitive Scale, encouraging students to assist the elderly around them with preliminary screening and to guard against potential disease risks in advance.

People nowadays lack the knowledge of the difference between normal aging and the early symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease. Beyond this, many elders avoid medical intervention due to fear of stigma and discrimination associated with the disease. Eventually, it may cause a significant decline in these elders’ quality of life. It is our hope that this exhibition will dispel common misconceptions, encourage students and teachers to view Alzheimer’s Disease through a scientific, compassionate lens, and inspire proactive care for the health of older adults in our community. Together, we can support a society where elders age with dignity, understanding, and support.
