Vascular Dementia Prognosis and Progression - ReaDementia
Vascular dementia (VaD) is defined as permanent cognitive impairment produced by vascular damage to the brain. Although old textbooks, i.e., prior to 1980, suggested that most dementia is produced by strokes, recent autopsy brain studies show that vascular dementia is a far less common, i.e., third or fourth cause of intellectual loss in people over the age of 65.

Risk factors for vascular dementia are similar to those for other vascular disease, including high blood pressure, smoking, angina and diabetes. Early treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) and vascular disease may prevent further progression of vascular dementia. MIXED DEMENTIA means that the person has AD plus another type of dementia.
