Multiple intelligence and vascular dementia (VD), proposed testing

and therapy

V

ascular dementia often displays multiple cognitive risks and problems, including

memory impairment, aphasia, apraxia, agnosia, or problems with executive

functioning. More recently we linked the association between childhood physical and

mental health ability and dementia occurrence. The study by Huang and colleagues

has found that having a lower MI and IQ particularly as a child increases the risk of

developing vascular dementia, which is caused by various problems, and blood supply

to the brain is one of the most common. The pattern of association differs between the

sexes and the risk increases in the lowest intelligence groups in both sexes similarly. The

hypothesis behind all these studies of cognitive and emotional reserves or brain-body

reserves is that some people’s brains and bodies may be more resilient to aging, stress,

pollution and neuro-degeneration than others. The study by Huang and colleagues furthers

our understanding in this area and there are now multiple high-quality epidemiological

studies linking poorer intelligence in early life with dementia risk. However, as with

all observational research, there remains the need to clarify whether these associations

are causal. Further complicating interpretation of these studies is the fact that multiple-

intelligence is a very complex trait, is subject to a degree of the development of the

various intelligences, genetic influences, and potentially has a bidirectional relationship

with socio-geo-economic status, and education. This paper analyses subjects a plausible

mechanism— emotion-cognitive reserve—we now need to consider interventional

research - the life courses to improve on—or ideally multiple—of these factors is there.

If, as a result, the emotion-cognitive reserve could be modified before the clinical onset of

dementia (even if Alzheimer disease were present in the brain), this may delay the onset

of these clinical symptoms which would, in turn, reduce the number of people affected by

dementia worldwide. These are the parameters for the risk assessment and the treatment

should focus on. Given the growing global public health burden of dementia, this is a vital

question.
