TY - JOUR PY - 2011// TI - Depression: a shared risk factor for cardiovascular and Alzheimer disease JO - Cleveland Clinic journal of medicine A1 - Wint, Dylan SP - S44 EP - S46 VL - 78 IS - Suppl 1 N2 - Depression has been linked to cardiovascular disease and cognitive impairment, including Alzheimer disease, but the exact nature of the relationship is poorly understood. Although depression seems to progress little after the onset of Alzheimer disease, depression in earlier life increases the risk of dementia and cognitive impairment many years in the future. Depression is also associated with reduced vascular function and is a poorly recognized but significant risk factor for stroke.
