Demand your doctor give you protocols to prevent such dementia. If you don't DEMAND this your doctor will do nothing and you will have to figure it out on your own. Isn't this exactly why you pay doctors?
Increased risk for dementia both before and after stroke: A population-based study in women followed over 44 years
Alzheimer's & Dementia — Guo X, et al. | October 22, 2018
In a large population of women followed
over 44 years, researchers studied the risk of dementia before and after
stroke. From 1968 to 2012, a population sample of 1460 women without
stroke or dementia at baseline was followed over 44 years. From
neuropsychiatric examinations, key-informant interviews, hospital
registry, and medical records, information on stroke and dementia was
obtained. In women, the age-specific incidence of the stroke and
dementia was comparable. Both before and after stroke, women with stroke
had increased risk for dementia. They found that the increased risk of
dementia continued more than 11 years after the stroke. The study
findings might have important implications for understanding the link
between stroke and dementia, for the prevention and treatment of
dementia and stroke, and for the classification of subtypes of dementia
disorders.
