Vascular dementia is a significant public health issue in Ethiopia, particularly among older adults with cardiovascular risk factors and low literacy. These findings underscore the importance of targeted interventions to control modifiable risk factors, such as physical activity and proper management of hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia. Public health strategies which promote healthy lifestyle and adult education are important to reduce the growing burden of dementia in Ethiopia.
