Multi-infarct dementia results from a series of small strokes affecting several brain regions. Stroke-related dementia involving successive small strokes causes a more gradual decline in cognition. [4] Dementia may occur when neurodegenerative and cerebrovascular pathologies are mixed, as in susceptible elderly people (75 years and older).
Because of this, the specific names of these types of this dementia, including Binswanger's disease were lost. [4] This was until 1992 when Alzheimer's diagnostic centers created specific criteria known as the Hachinski Ischemic Scale (after Dr. Vladimir Hachinski) which became the standard for diagnosing MID or vascular dementia.

Older adults who have experienced a traumatic injury after a fall are 21 percent more likely to later receive a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease or another related dementia, a new study indicates.
More than one type of dementia, known as mixed dementia, may exist together in about 10% of dementia cases. [2] The most common type of mixed dementia is Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia. [87] This particular type of mixed dementia's main onsets are a mixture of old age, high blood pressure, and damage to blood vessels in the brain. [15]
