Thanks for your question.
Can be inherited from both parents but there is an increased chance with female relatives and even higher chance from female to female inheritance.

No.
Either parent may pass on a gene (APOE) that increases the risk of developing late onset vascular dementia. Dementia is generally not considered inheritable.
