The answer is D. Having Down syndrome is not considered a risk factor for dementia. While individuals with Down syndrome are at a higher risk for developing Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia, it is not considered a risk factor in the same way that age, vitamin deficiency, and alcohol or drug abuse are.
