alzheimer's disease (ad) and vascular dementia are common causes of decline of brain functions that occur with age. ad is a chronic neurodegenerative disease that worsens over time. the disease process is associated with plaques and tangles in the brain. vascular dementia can be caused by ischemic or hemorrhagic infarcts affecting multiple brain areas, including the anterior cerebral artery territory, the parietal lobes, or the cingulate gyrus. both types of dementia may be present. vitamin e status (and that of other antioxidant nutrients) is conjectured as having a possible impact on risk of alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia. a review of dietary intake studies reported that higher consumption of vitamin e from foods lowered the risk of developing ad by 24%. a second review examined serum vitamin e levels and reported lower serum vitamin e in ad patients compared to healthy, age-matched people. a cochrane review reported on vitamin e as treatment for mild cognitive impairment (mci) and alzheimer's disease. based on evidence from only one trial in each of the categories, the authors' conclusions were that there was not sufficient evidence for supplemental vitamin e preventing the progression from mci to dementia, but that it did slow functional decline in people with ad. given the small number of trials and subjects, the authors recommended further research. in 2017 a consensus statement from the british association for psychopharmacology included that until further information is available, vitamin e cannot be recommended for treatment or prevention of alzheimer's disease.
