If someone's prone to transient ischemic attacks, that can be part of a vascular condition in the brain that leads to dementia.

Vascular dementia is very much a condition that exists and isn't all that uncommon.

High blood pressure, high cholesterol, congestive heart failure. You name it. Anything that compromises the cardiovascular system, particularly in older people, can mess up the brain and lead to brain damage and cognitive decline over time.

If someone's over there having mini-strokes all the time, it can scramble the noggin.
