Are some people more likely to get vascular dementia?


Certain factors can increase a person’s risk of developing dementia. These include:

A medical history of stroke, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes (particularly type II), heart problems, or sleep apnea (where breathing stops during sleep)
A lack of physical activity, drinking more than recommended levels of alcohol, smoking, eating a fatty diet, or leaving conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes untreated
A family history of stroke or vascular dementia
Gender – men are slightly more likely to develop vascular dementia
An Indian, Bangladeshi, Pakistani, Sri Lankan or African Caribbean ethnic background.

your references left out the genetic links to vascular dementia, specifically cadasil disease.
