Cardiovascular diseases and risk of dementia in the general population
Associations between stroke and all-cause dementia and its major subtypes are likely to be causal. Moreover, genetic susceptibility for ischemic heart disease is associated with incident vascular dementia. These findings underscore the importance of integrating CVD prevention into interventions to enable early prevention and reduce the risk of dementia.
