Vascular risk factors, large-artery atheroma, and brain white matter hyperintensities
OBJECTIVE To determine the magnitude of potentially causal relationships among vascular risk factors (VRFs), large-artery atheromatous disease (LAD), and cerebral white matter hyperintensities (WMH) in 2 prospective cohorts. METHODS We assessed VRFs (history and measured variables), LAD (in carotid, coronary, and leg arteries), and WMH (on structural MRI, visual scores and volume) in: (a) com...
متن کاملWhite matter hyperintensities and vascular risk factors in monozygotic twins
Cerebral white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) have been associated with vascular risk factors, both of which are under genetic influence. We examined in a monozygotic twin sample whether the association between vascular risk and WMHs is influenced by overlapping genetic factors. We included 195 cognitively normal monozygotic twins (age = 70 ± 7 years), including 94 complete pairs. Regional WMH ...
متن کاملVascular risk factors and white matter hyperintensities in patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment.
BACKGROUND Subjects affected by aMCI are considered at high risk for AD. Nevertheless, the role of both vascular risk factors and WMH is matter of debate. PATIENTS AND METHODS We enrolled consecutively 21 aMCI subjects according to Petersen Criteria; the study included routine screening for dementia, neuropsychological evaluation and brain MRI. Six vascular risk factors were assessed and WMH ...
متن کاملVascular risk factors and progression of white matter hyperintensities in the Lothian Birth Cohort 1936
We aimed to determine associations between multiple vascular risk factors (VRF) at ∼73 years and progression of white matter hyperintensities (WMH) from ∼73 years to ∼76 years. We calculated correlations and generalized estimating equation models of a comprehensive range of VRF at 73 years and change in WMH volume from 73 years to 76 years. Higher systolic (rho = 0.126, p = 0.009) and diastolic...
متن کاملWhite matter hyperintensities and normal-appearing white matter integrity in the aging brain
White matter hyperintensities (WMH) of presumed vascular origin are a common finding in brain magnetic resonance imaging of older individuals and contribute to cognitive and functional decline. It is unknown how WMH form, although white matter degeneration is characterized pathologically by demyelination, axonal loss, and rarefaction, often attributed to ischemia. Changes within normal-appearin...
