[VC-2] Factors Predicting Mortality of Vascular Dementia(VaD) in Thai Cohort at the Memory Clinic(MC)
Asian countries are the hot spot of the world for dementia patients increase mainly Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, the issue of Asian AD is the vascular contribution to the classical AD pathology, which is even common in recent AD autopsy. Asian countries have an international consortium to study such vascular component on AD, not only the pure vascular dementia. Therefore this symposium focuses on the vascular contribution to AD phenotype and AD pathology with pivotal speakers from the Vas-Cog Asia representatives.
