Abstract
⺠Microbleeds are common in vascular dementia, with prevalences between 35% and 85%. ⺠Microbleeds are not mentioned in any current criteria of vascular dementia. ⺠Microbleeds in patients with vascular cognitive impairment relate to worse cognition. ⺠Microbleeds modestly predict future (vascular) dementia, mortality and disability. ⺠New diagnostic criteria for vascular dementia should take into account microbleeds.
