Abstract
Vascular dementia, the second most common dementia after Alzheimer disease, has great potential for prevention and treatment. Epidemiological data pro vide the basis for planning primary prevention and clinical trials. Neverth eless, general consensus on disease definition and diagnostic criteria are still not well defined. Despite these limitations, some results from the Ku ngsholmen project, an epidemiological longitudinal study of people 75 years and older, are presented here.
