Dementia - Causes and Risk Factors

Dementia is a condition whereby the brain cells die faster than normal. In Alzheimer’s disease, this is caused by abnormal proteins that damage brain cells. In vascular dementia, brain cells die as a result of a series of strokes due to blockages of blood vessels in the brain.
