N2  - Both reduced cognitive ability and traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) have been proposed as risk factors for dementia later in life. Moreover, a 2008 case-control study comparing 55 controls to 197 TBI patients from the Vietnam War indicated that higher intelligence could offer protection from dementia after a penetrating brain injury [1]. However, gathering sufficient data concerning the moderating effect of cognitive ability on the increased risk of dementia after TBI is challenging, as TBIs are not common and follow-up times after the lesion have to be on the order of decades.<br><br>© 2019 EAN.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
