Cardiovascular risk and preclinical atherosclerosis are associated with white matter hyperintensities in apparently healthy adults: the population-based cross-sectional study BIALYSTOK PLUS
The cardiovascular risk class, presence of carotid plaques, increased intima‑media complex thickness, and diabetes are the main risk factors for white matter hyperintensities in apparently healthy adults. People without hypertension or diabetes but with higher CVR are also at a risk for developing white matter hyperintensities, which emphasizes the importance of CVR assessment for prediction of neurodegenerative changes.
