Medical Conditions
A history of anxiety and depression would increase the risk of having Lewy body dementia. A stroke can also make Lewy bodies more likely to build up in the brain. The same goes for high blood pressure as the condition would affect the blood flow to your cognitive system. Diabetes, particularly type 2, is strongly associated with Lewy body dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Last but not least, having high levels of cholesterol would lead to some cardiovascular problems, which are major risk factors for this mental disorder. [10]
