Does a brain injury lead to dementia in the future?
human
I want to know if I m likely to have dementia eventually in life, since at age 6 in 1979, I d a tramatic brain injury, brain dead for 5 weeks from a bus having ran me over, and had to restart my life at age 7 like a premature baby. now 45 going on 46 in May, I only feel between 18 and 20; I hardly have short term memory, whereas a lot of long term memory of negative experiences. Ask me anything if you need more info.

Dear moderate and severe TBIs increase risk of dementia between 2-and 4-fold. research has linked moderate and severe traumatic brain injury to a greater risk of developing Alzheimer's disease or another type of dementia years after the original head injury.Regards
