But I get the distinct impression that it is havnig CURRENT strokes (in old age) that may cause the increased risk of Alzheimer's. Can the link between the two still exist with 60 years between the events? I think not.

They lose the assumption of time and theory of reality. those with Alzheimer's could in many situations forget who's who, and what's what. Their indications contain: hallucinations, delusions, disordered thinking (illogical thinking) and from time to time fragmented speech. Your grandmother is in all probability experiencing the shortcoming of theory of reality. In her attitude, she sees those planes for genuine, like.. there are certainly planes obtainable in front of her, or that she is in an certainly airplane with human beings in it. The hallucination is so genuine to her, that she can't distinguish what's genuine and what's pretend. She isn't waving at comic strip airplanes, she in all probability found out that the airplane she replaced into speaking approximately in the past replaced into fake, and that the single interior the sky is genuine.

Strokes do not cause Alzheimer's Disease. Some of the effects can appear similar, it depends on how much brain damage the stroke did.

No, it doesn't mean you'll develop Alzheimer's.
