Those studies led researchers to ask whether people who were diagnosed with either Alzheimer's or vascular dementia had other things--like high blood pressure or diabetes--in common. Today, he says, it's most likely that there are two primary causes of dementia: an Alzheimer's disease type "pathology," represented by the neurofibrillary tangles and senile plaques of the disease, and vascular dementia, resulting from significant changes in blood vessels in the brain. Recent studies suggest that pure vascular dementia and mixed dementia together comprise the majority of dementia cases in some populations. |
