   Proposal Description:
   Traumatic brain injury (TBI) has garnered support as a risk factor for all        cause dementia later in life. However, since risk factors may play different      roles across various types of dementia, it is unclear whether TBI may be          associated with a higher risk for different dementia types. This study plans to   retrospectively examine whether a history of self-reported TBI is associated      with higher absolute risk for the later development of Alzheimer's Disease,       frontotemporal dementia, and Lewy Body dementia (LBD).
