A member asked:
Which is deadlier, vascular dementia or alzheimers?
9 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends: A large stroke can lead to vascular dementia and if you had one stroke you are at high risk of having another. Alzheimer's has a more predictable progression in general but everyone is unique so generalizations are difficult.
