Vascular Dementia and Alzheimer’s Prevention Tips
Not all dementia shows the same course. Alzheimer’s disease usually progresses slowly, steadily – over many years. There are also rapidly deteriorating or fluctuating forms of dementia. The latter run in spurts: phases, in which the parties can think as clearly as before her illness or in early stages of the disease are sudden mood swings, and replaced by a marked decline in mental abilities. The dementia course varies with the individual.
How to Prevent Vascular Dementia and Alzheimers ?
With dementia can not be targeted to prevent, since its exact causes are not fully understood until now. By some underlying medical conditions is known that the risk of Vascular Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease increases:
- Diabetes (diabetes mellitus)
- Hypertension
- Atrial fibrillation
- Nicotine and alcohol consumption
- Previous head injury (stroke, trauma boxer)
A higher risk for Alzheimer’s disease also exists for hypothyroidism or a family already encountered dementia.

In any case, it’s important to address those underlying diseases early and effectively.
