福克斯新闻 说话方式或与痴呆症有关

Everybody stammers¹ once in a while, but people with early stage mild cognitive² impairment seem to have verbal skills that get much worse faster than those who don't have thinking problems.

每个人说话都会偶尔结巴，但有早期轻度认知功能障碍的患者的口头表达能力丧失地似乎比那些没有思维问题的人要快得多。

Researchers like Kimberly Mueller at the University of Madison-Wisconsin are hoping analyzing³ speech may become a simple way to screen people for mental decline: "We all use different techniques to speak like fillers, we all use that occasionally, but in this case what we're seeing is something more severe than what is typical." Doctors think treatment might need to start early in a potential patient to do any good, so there's a push to find early signs.

美国威斯康星州麦迪逊大学的金伯利·穆勒等研究人员希望，语言分析能够成为筛查人们精神衰退的一个简单方法：“说话的时候我们都会用各种技巧来充当填空词，每个人偶尔都会用到这些技巧，但在此例中，我们看到的是比常情更严重的问题。”医生认为，治疗可能需要尽早开始，以便能够对患者的病情起到帮助，因此急需查出早期症状。
