Article Synopsis
- The study examined the link between vascular risk factors (VRFs) and cognitive decline before a dementia diagnosis, using data from 1,449 participants aged 60 and older.
- Results showed that individuals who developed dementia had poorer Life's Simple 7 scores, especially in diet and glucose levels, which were associated with faster cognitive decline.
- The findings suggest that VRFs significantly impact cognitive decline rates in older adults, particularly those in the early stages of dementia.
