Dementia is known to plague people in their old age but there several studies that have indicated that the signs can be seen early on and help in the treatment. Now, a new study has found that people with a history of Type 2 diabetes, heart diseases or stroke are at double the risk of developing dementia over time.  

Type 2 diabetes, heart diseases (ischemic heart disease, heart failure or atrial fibrillation) and stroke, so-called cardiometabolic diseases, are some of the main risk factors for dementia.
