Evidence of cerebrovascular disease and signs of dementia suggest vascular dementia. Alzheimer's disease and Huntington's disease are both forms of neurodegenerative dementia, but cerebrovascular disease is not a characteristic feature of these conditions. Down syndrome is a genetic disorder that can lead to intellectual disability and developmental delays, but it is not typically associated with dementia.
