Vascular aspects in Alzheimer’s disease

Skoog, Ingmar·2000·Advances in Dementia Research

Abstract

Alzheimer's disease is a primary degenerative dementia and is not considered to be of vascular origin. Furthermore, severe cerebrovascular diseases are generally exclusionary for the clinical diagnosis. During recent years both epidemiological and neuropathological studies have suggested an association between Alzheimer's disease and several vascular risk factors, such as hypertension, inheritance of the apolipoprotein E epsilon4 allele, coronary heart disease, diabetes mellitus, ischaemic white matter lesions and generalised atherosclerosis. These findings may reflect an overdiagnosis of Alzheimer's disease in individuals with silent cerebrovascular disease or that cerebrovascular disease may affects the clinical expression of Alzheimer's disease. Further possibilities include that Alzheimer's disease may increase the risk of vascular disease or that vascular disease may stimulate the Alzheimer's disease process. Similar mechanisms may also be involved in the pathogenesis of both disorders, such as disturbances in the renin-angiotensin system, apoptosis, and psychological stress.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Vascular and neurodegenerative processes may interact, so risk factors for cerebrovascular disease also increase the risk of AD.

    “Furthermore, there is increasing recognition that vascular and neurodegenerative processes may interact, so that risk factors for CVD also increase the risk of AD.20”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
