EXACTLY how is your doctor measuring your brain reserve after your stroke? EXACTLY what protocols does your doctor have to build up your reserve? So you can withstand your likely descent into dementia. Hopefully your doctor has those two answers and knows why they are needed.
Your chances of getting dementia. Has your doctor warned you about this? If not, fire them.
1. A documented 33% dementia chance post-stroke from an Australian study? May 2012.
2. Then this study came out and seems to have a range from 17-66%. December 2013.
3. A 20% chance in this research. July 2013.
4. Dementia Risk Doubled in Patients Following Stroke September 2018

This
review focused on understanding the operationlisation of brain and
cognitive reserve across 264 included studies. While the majority of
reserve research has assessed the concepts utility in those with
neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Alzheimer's disease, a growing
body of literature has assessed the influence of cognitive reserve
across healthy ageing and in those with neurological conditions other
than dementia. However, reserve measurement is extremely heterogeneous
across studies, which makes cross-study comparison very difficult. It is
thus important to understand more about the conceptual and psychometric
properties of reserve measurements - this review sought to answer those
questions.
