 Dementia  isn't one disease in itself, but a general term to explain symptoms of impairment in memory, communication, and thinking. While the likelihood of getting dementia increases with age, it's not a traditional a part of aging. An analysis of the foremost recent census estimates that 4.7 million people aged 65 years or older within the us were living with Alzheimer’s disease in 2010. The Alzheimer’s Association estimates that just over a tenth of individuals aged 65 years or more have Alzheimer’s disease. Dementia are often caused by a head injury, a stroke, or a brain tumour , among other causes. Vascular dementia (also called multi-infarct dementia) – resulting from nerve cell death caused by conditions like cerebrovascular disease, for instance , stroke. This prevents normal blood flow, depriving brain cells of oxygen. Injury – post-traumatic dementia is directly associated with nerve cell death caused by injury.   Some sorts of traumatic brain injury – particularly if repetitive, like those received by sports players – are linked to certain dementias appearing later in life. Evidence is weak, however, that one brain injury raises the likelihood of getting a degenerative dementia like Alzheimer’s disease.
