A new study from Lund University suggests that not all dementia risk factors affect the brain in the same way. While several common health risks were linked to changes associated with vascular dementia, others showed possible connections to the biological processes involved in Alzheimer's disease.
The findings also reinforce that dementia is not a single disease but a collection of symptoms caused by different underlying disorders. Researchers say the study could improve understanding of how individual risk factors contribute to different forms of dementia, as per a report.
