Methodological Factors in Determining Risk of Dementia After Transient Ischemic Attack and Stroke

So what is the chance of dementia post-stroke? Which one does your doctor ascribe to and WHAT EXACTLY  is being done to prevent it in you?
My initial finding was your 33% dementia chance post-stroke from an Australian study.
Then this study came out and seems to have a range from 17-66%.
A 20% chance in this research.

    I read the research paper some months ago and it contains much info about supplements and foods to ward off AD.
    A change in diet is sometimes difficult to achieve because of habits, expense, ability and availability, and etc.

    1. I agree, it's why I wrote the post; Dementia prevention 19 ways;

      That post is actually out-of-date, I think there are at least 5-6 new items to add.
