Longitudinal associations of cardiovascular health and vascular events with incident dementia

Evidence supporting cardiovascular diseases could increase the risk of dementia remains fragmented. A comprehensive study to illuminate the distinctive associations across different dementia types is still lacking. This study is sought to: (1) determine the clinical validity of Framingham General Cardiovascular Risk Score (FGCRS) for dementia assessment and (2) examine the associations between cardiovascular diseases and the risk of dementia.
