It seems to be just one kind of dementia:
This appears to lead to a lower risk of cerebral small vessel disease ...
Not Lewy Body dementia, not Alzheimer's.

Great grandma had 5 kids. Suffered severe dementia.
Grandmother had three. Suffered same.
Sounds like a degreed idiot offered this opinion.

Ah, thanks. Years ago I think they called it hardening of the arteries. I could be wrong again though.

I don’t know. It’s clear from the article, though, that the observation is limited. There are different causes of dementia, and the effects of estrogen reduce the incidence of *one* kind.
