Such cases are not usually diagnosed as dementia, but rather as residual cognitive impairment from a stroke. The term vascular dementia (VaD) is usually reserved for a subtly progressive worsening of memory and other cognitive functions that is presumed to be due to vascular disease within the brain.
Brain scans, walking speed and grip strength were recorded for 2,410 people who were, on average, 62 years old. Results presented at the Academy of Neurology's annual meeting said that 11 years later, 34 people had developed dementia and 79 had had a stroke. The researchers said slower walking speeds were linked to a higher risk of dementia and stronger grip with a lower risk of stroke. Before people take stock in the strength of a handshake or the speed you cross the road, more research is needed to understand why and what other factors are involved.
