    • Risk of Dementia: Nearly 3 Times Higher One Year After Stroke: Study

    By on February 4, 2024

    Ottawa: A study by McMaster University reveals that stroke survivors face nearly triple the risk of dementia within a year of the event, with a 150% higher risk for those with brain bleeding. Over 5.5 years, nearly 20% of survivors developed dementia, surpassing the rate of recurrent strokes.

    Post-stroke dementia risk remains elevated for up to 20 years, dropping to 1.5 times higher after five years. Lead author Raed Joundi emphasizes monitoring for cognitive decline post-stroke and advocates lifestyle changes like quitting smoking.

    The research, to be presented at the 2024 American Stroke Association’s International Stroke Conference, underscores the need for understanding why dementia develops post-stroke.
