Having a stroke may significantly increase the risk of developing dementia. The risk of dementia was the highest in the first year after a stroke and remained elevated over a period of 20 years, according to preliminary research presented at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference 2024, held in Phoenix, Feb.
