Dementia can be triggered by many factors, such as a brain injury during accidents, health issues like a stroke, or some other diseases. These causes suddenly interrupt blood flow to your brain areas and lead to temporary or permanent damages to brain cells. In addition, the condition could develop over time when small blockages become bigger in blood vessels.
The exact cause of Alzheimer’s disease is still unknown. However, scientists suggest that there can be many possible triggers, such as lifestyle, genetics, and other environmental factors. In addition, the elderly are often at higher risk since their cognitive systems are declining with age. [6.1] [6.2]
