Furthermore, we assessed genetic susceptibility for CVDs and the risk of dementia using individual-level data from the UK Biobank and summary statistics from the FinnGen study. Observationally, CVDs were associated with risk of all incident outcomes in meta-analyses, with hazard ratios up to 7.00 (95% confidence interval: 6.20, 7.92). Genetically, in the UK Biobank, susceptibility for ischaemic stroke was associated with risk of all-cause dementia, Alzheimer\u2019s disease, and vascular dementia, and odds ratios (ORs) were 1.64 (1.35, 1.98), 1.44 (1.10, 1.89), and 2.06 (1.41, 3.01), respectively, with similar estimates for ischaemic stroke; genetic susceptibility for ischaemic heart disease was associated with risk of vascular dementia [OR: 1.24 (1.03, 1.50)]. Genetic summary statistics from the FinnGen study confirmed the associations between ischaemic stroke and stroke.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Associations between stroke and all-cause dementia and its major subtypes are likely to be causal.
