Silent Brain Infarcts and White Matter Lesions Increase Stroke Risk in the General Population
Background and Purpose—Silent brain infarcts and white matter lesions are associated with an increased risk of subsequent stroke in minor stroke patients. In healthy elderly people, silent brain infarcts and white matter lesions are common, but little is known about their relevance. We examined the risk of stroke associated with these lesions in the general population. Methods—The Rotterdam Sca...

متن کاملMTHFR Gene Polymorphism as a Risk Factor for Silent Brain Infarcts and White Matter Lesions in the Japanese General Population
Background and Purpose—Silent brain infarcts (SBI) and white matter lesions are relatively common neuroimaging findings, especially in the elderly population. The genetic background for SBI and white matter lesions in a large Japanese general population was investigated. Methods—Subjects were recruited from participants in the National Institute for Longevity Sciences, Longitudinal Study of Agi...

متن کاملMigraine with aura and risk of silent brain infarcts and white matter hyperintensities: an MRI study
A small number of population-based studies reported an association between migraine with aura and risk of silent brain infarcts and white matter hyperintensities in females. We investigated these relations in a population-based sample of female twins. We contacted female twins ages 30-60 years identified through the population-based Danish Twin Registry. Based on questionnaire responses, twins ...
