In the Finnish "Kuopio 75+ study," ViD accounted for 23% vs 22% for DLB, 47% for AD, and 8% for other dementias in people aged 75 yr or older (58). Even though studies from Japan revealed that the prevalence of ViD was more than double that of AD (63-67), in other reports, AD was two times more frequent than ViD (68). Roman (57) recently suggested that ViD may be the most underdiagnosed and underestimated form of dementia in the elderly, because most individuals with dementia after a stroke probably are not included in the data cited (69).
