3. A 20% chance in this research. July 2013.
4. Dementia Risk Doubled in Patients Following Stroke September 2018

Pronunciation of irregular words is preserved in dementia, validating premorbid IQ estimation
Abstract
The
National Adult Reading Test (NART), used to estimate premorbid mental
ability, involves pronunciation of irregular words. The authors
demonstrate that, after controlling for age 11 IQ test scores, mean NART
scores do not differ in people with and without dementia. The
correlation between age 11 IQ and NART scores at about age 80 was
similar in the groups with (r = 0.63, p < 0.001) and without (r = 0.60, p < 0.001) dementia. These findings validate the NART as an estimator of premorbid ability in mild to moderate dementia.
