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.
