The number of elderly people suffering from neurologic disorders is expected to increase in coming decades. Dementia andstroke are the two most frequent neurologic disorders in the elderly. Population-based longitudinal studies provide a strong infrastructure to study the etiology of these diseases. In this paper, the Rotterdam Study serves as example to illustrate the strength of population-studies to contribute to unraveling the etiology of neurologic diseases.
