Increased risk for dementia both before and after stroke: A population-based study in women followed over 44  years
Discussion There is an increased risk for dementia both before and after stroke. This has implications for understanding the relation between the two disorders and for prevention of dementia and stroke.

Midlife stroke risk and cognitive decline: A 10-year follow-up of the Whitehall II cohort study
Conclusion: Elevated stroke risk at midlife is associated with accelerated cognitive decline over 10 years. Aggregation of risk factors may be especially important in this association.

Population-based stroke and dementia incidence trends: Age and sex variations
This study explores these trends within demographic subgroups. Methods We analyzed administrative data sources using validated algorithms to calculate stroke and dementia incidence rates from 2002 to 2013. Results For more than 12 years, stroke incidence remained unchanged among those aged 20 to 49 years and decreased for those aged 50 to 64, 65 to 79, and 80+ years by 22.7%, 36.9%, and 37.9%, respectively. Dementia incidence increased by 17.3% and 23.5% in those aged 20 to 49 and 50 to 64 years, respectively, and remained unchanged in those aged 65 to 79 years and decreased by 15.4% in those aged 80+ years. Discussion T...

Delayed-onset dementia after stroke or transient ischemic attack
Discussion Severe SVD contributes importantly to delayed-onset dementia after stroke and/or TIA. Future clinical trials aiming to prevent delayed-onset dementia after stroke and/or TIA should target this high-risk group.

Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors and risk of stroke and death in people with dementia
Discussion The use of AChEIs in people with dementia may be associated with reduced risk of ischemic stroke and death. These results call for a closer examination of the cardiovascular effects of AChEIs.

Risk factors for incident dementia after stroke and transient ischemic attack
Conclusions Chronic brain changes including WMCs, MTLA, and AD pathology are associated with incident dementia after stroke/TIA. Interventions targeting these chronic brain changes may reduce burden of vascular cognitive impairment.

Midlife stroke risk and cognitive decline
Kaffashian et al. [1] presented the results of the long-term follow up of a large cohort study concerning the higher risk of cognitive decline in patients with higher risk of stroke. This last feature was synthesized by the score of the Framingham Stroke Risk Profile (FSRP), which has been studied in the past also to predict cognitive performance in middle-aged adults and elderly. A first finding of the study was the absence of an association between cognitive changes and single vascular risk factors, with the exception of diabetes mellitus and in line with previous studies [2].
