[comment memo="Vascular risk factors and dementia:
Demographic-advanced age, male, nonwhite, low education
Younger patients regardless of stroke type faced higher risks of poststroke dementia than older patients1
Stroke characteristics-stroke types -ischemic versus hemorrhagic, recurrent stroke, multiple infarcts, strategically located infarcts, more severe clinical features at stroke onset, and left or supratentorial or bilateral lesions. Survivors of intracerebral hemorrhage and subarachnoid hemorrhage are at particularly high long-term risk of poststroke dementia.1
Neuro imaging markers of brain lesions-silent brain infarcts, white matter lesions, cerebral atrophy, and cerebral micro bleeds ie macro and microhemorrhages in the brain
Vascular disorders and conditions-hypertension, A. fib, diabetes mellitus, myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, and pre-stroke cognitive status
Other-obesity
