It had previously been suggested that the brain is a target for damage from heart disease.
The risk factors leading to heart disease have also been associated with both vascular and Alzheimer’s dementia.
However, the mechanisms by which these associations occur are not well understood, and there had been no studies in large groups of people or those without disease.
