Abstract
Vascular risk factors include smoking, hypertension, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, obesity and heart problems, and they may increase the likelihood of damage to blood vessels in the brain. For this reason, all of these factors can increase a person’s risk of vascular dementia. Epidemiological evidence suggests that control of vascular risk factors may prevent, or at least delay, the onset of dementia. This finding is supported to some extent by randomized controlled trial evidence for treatment of hypertension.
