Introduction:All-cause dementia remains a significant public health concern, with stroke recognized as a key risk factor. Few studies have applied Machine Learning (ML) models to accurately predict cognitive impairment and dementia, yet none have specifically focused on post-stroke dementia risk prediction. The sample was 48.4%

It’s not that they don’t get cardiovascular disease, cancer or dementia; they just get it way later than everyone else.

Participating in any resistance training is associated with a 15%–17% lower risk for these outcomes compared to non-participation. Of course, these benefits can also extend to individuals with a BMI in the normal range. It’s never too late to start — but the earlier you start the better.

Accumulation of oxidative stress has been shown to trigger the initiation and progression of cognitive deficits, including mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimers Dementia (AD). Higher levels of oxidative stress was also associated with increased levels of cognitive impairment among the stroke population (p<0.05).
