Long‐Term Incidence of Dementia Following Transient Ischemic Attack: A Longitudinal Cohort Study
We found no significant difference in dementia incidence over a 20-year follow-up period compared with matched TIA-free controls. Our findings suggest that TIA prompts treatment changes and behavioral shifts that lower cardiovascular risk. Whether these are sufficient to mitigate subsequent dementia risk remains to be tested in prospective randomized studies.
