Vascular Neurocognitive Disorder
Resources for Patients and Caregivers
Vascular neurocognitive disorder is a condition characterized by disruptions in the brain’s blood supply that lead to impairment of one or more aspects of a person’s conscious brain functions.

- Development and validation of the Michigan Chronic Disease Simulation Model (MICROSIM)by James F Burke on May 16, 2024
Strategies to prevent or delay Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD) are urgently needed, and blood pressure (BP) management is a promising strategy. Yet the effects of different BP control strategies across the life course on AD/ADRD are unknown. Randomized trials may be infeasible due to prolonged follow-up and large sample sizes. Simulation analysis is a practical approach to estimating these effects using the best available existing data. However, existing simulation frameworks...
- The relationship between dehydration and etiologic subtypes of major neurocognitive disorder in older patientsby Damla Aslan Kirazoglu on May 16, 2024
CONCLUSION: Dehydration is slightly associated with the presence of MND independent of age and sex. However, dehydration is also quite common in older patients without cognitive disorders. Therefore, hydration status should be monitored in older adults irrespective of neurocognitive status. Hypertension, DM, CKD, dysphagia and severity of cognitive dysfunction were associated with dehydration in patients with dementia. The prevalence of dehydration is highest in patients with vascular dementia.
- No genetic causal associations between periodontitis and brain atrophy or cognitive impairment: evidence from a comprehensive bidirectional Mendelian randomization studyby Zhixing Deng on May 16, 2024
CONCLUSIONS: The MR analyses indicated a lack of substantial evidence for a causal connection between periodontitis and both brain atrophy and cognitive impairment.
- Association of dietary and nutritional factors with cognitive decline, dementia, and depressive symptomatology in older individuals according to a neurogenesis-centred biological susceptibility to brain ageingby Andrea Du Preez on May 15, 2024
Hippocampal neurogenesis (HN) occurs throughout the life course and is important for memory and mood. Declining with age, HN plays a pivotal role in cognitive decline (CD), dementia, and late-life depression, such that altered HN could represent a neurobiological susceptibility to these conditions. Pertinently, dietary patterns (e.g., Mediterranean diet) and/or individual nutrients (e.g., vitamin D, omega 3) can modify HN, but also modify risk for CD, dementia, and depression. Therefore, the...
