Dementia is a group of brain diseases that share similar symptoms, such as memory, language, orientation, and behavioral issues. Vascular dementia generally develops in the elderly, affecting between 1% and 4% of people over the age of 65, according to Alzheimer's Switzerland.

There is currently no cure for vascular dementia, and the only way to combat it is prevention by controlling risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and smoking.
