Vascular Dementia: An Australian Perspective
Alzheimer Disease & Associated Disorders, 1999We performed a review of the published literature on dementia, stroke, and vascular dementia (VaD) emanating from Australia and sought the opinions of senior clinicians and investigators in the field of dementia. We conclude from these sources that the public health importance of cognitive impairment and dementia secondary to cerebrovascular disease is

Radiologic Clinics of North America, 2014When atrophy is seen on imaging in adult patients, it does not necessarily represent Alzheimer disease. Many cases of dementia or cognitive decline could be caused by reversible or preventable diseases, such as vascular dementia. This article familiarizes the physician with various types of vascular lesions leading to dementia and cognitive decline and

Epidemiology of Vascular Dementia
Pathophysiology of Haemostasis and Thrombosis, 1998Although epidemiological studies are limited by diagnostic uncertainties, they suggest that stroke increases the risk of dementia. The mortality rate is higher in vascular dementia (VaD) than in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Community-based studies have provided several consistent findings: (i) age dependence with prevalence rates doubling every 5 years ...

Neuroepidemiology, 1995Vascular dementia (VaD) is the second commonest dementia after Alzheimer's disease (AD). Epidemiological studies of this condition suffer from many shortcomings related to definition of the disease, diagnostic criteria and assessment of subjects. The prevalence of VaD increases linearly with age and varies greatly from country to country, ranging from ...
