MID affects approximately 4 out of 10,000 people. It is estimated that 10 to 20% of all dementias are caused by strokes, making MID the third most common cause of dementia in the elderly, behind Alzheimer's disease and DLBD (dementia of Lewy bodies). MID affects men more often than women. The disorder usually affects people over 55, with the average onset at age 65.
The affects of MID vary depending on the location and severity of the infarctions. Memory impairment is often an early symptom of the disorder, followed by judgment impairment. This often progresses in a stepwise manner to delirium, hallucinations, and impaired thinking. Personality and mood changes accompany the deteriorating mental condition. Apathy and lack of motivation are common. Catastrophic reactions, such as withdrawal or extreme agitation, are also common. Confusion that occurs or is worse at night is another common symptom.
Risk factors that make the development of MID likely include a history of stroke, hypertension, smoking, and atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is the cause of numerous serious vascular problems, including heart attacks, cerebrovascular diseases, and peripheral vascular diseases. Cerebrovascular disease affects the vessels in the brain and spine, and peripheral vascular disease involves the vessels of the body, especially the limbs. Atherosclerosis may be associated with conditions such as diabetes mellitus, obesity, high cholesterol, and kidney disorders that require dialysis.
Some research suggests that MID may cause or hasten the progression of Alzheimer's disease. MID may be misdiagnosed as Alzheimer's, or may be found in addition to Alzheimer's disease.
Multi-infarct dementia is the second most common cause of dementia in older people. Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish from Alzheimer's disease, which is the most common cause of dementia in older persons.
