FIGURE 1 Balance between Alzheimer disease (AD) and cerebrovascular disease and the mapping of clinical diagnoses on the pathologic findings. Diagnostic labels at the bottom of the graph depict current common use. Shaded area covers the broad region that represents the overlap of the 2 diseases, encroaching on regions that might currently be labeled as AD and especially on regions that are currently called vascular dementia (VaD). Diagnostic areas are not drawn to the scale of the relative prevalence of the disorders.
