  2. The Associations Between Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors and Cognitive Function

    Cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs) are known to contribute to vascular cognitive impairment and dementia in later life. Their modifiability provides a promising avenue for reducing the risk of cognitive decline and dementia. This thesis summarizes the associations the current literature identifies …
