Cardiovascular risk factors contribute significantly to dementia cases, with vascular cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID) being a major component. The document discusses the slow development of VCID treatments compared to Alzheimer's disease, noting that cognitive enhancers can modestly improve cognition in vascular dementia. It also emphasizes the importance of managing cardiometabolic risk factors for both primary and secondary prevention of VCID.
