Multiple cardiometabolic diseases doubled the risk of dementia and cognitive impairment, hastening their onset by two years, and speeding up the pace of cognitive decline.People who have at least two of the conditions type 2 diabetes, heart disease, or stroke are twice as likely to develop dementia. Research from Sweden’s& Dementia suggests the possibility that preventing diabetes and cardiovascular disease might be a tactic for lowering dementia risk.
“Few studies have examined how the risk of dementia is affected by having more than one of these diseases simultaneously, so that’s what we wanted to examine in our study,” says Abigail Dove, a doctoral student at the Aging Research Centre, part of the Department of Neurobiology, Care Sciences and Society, Karolinska Institutet.
Multiple cardiometabolic diseases doubled the likelihood of cognitive impairment and dementia and hastened their onset by two years. They also sped up the pace of cognitive decline. More diseases were associated with a larger degree of risk. “This is good news. The study shows that the risk only increases once someone has at least two of the diseases, so it’s possible that dementia can be averted by preventing the development of a second disease.”
