The purpose of this study was to identify common co-morbid conditions associated with dementia subtypes and to evaluate the association of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, atrial fibrillation, congestive heart failure, and anemia with dementia subtypes relative to controls. ⋯ There are distinct differences in comorbid conditions among dementia subtypes. Our research does not support previous studies that suggest a circulatory component to the development of Alzheimer's disease.
