Association of Increase in White Matter Hyperintensity Volume With Rate of Hippocampal Atrophy in a Population-Based Study of Aging
Higher WMHVR was associated with HAR between approximately 70 and 73 years, independent of CVRF levels, <i>APOE</i>-ε4 status, and Aβ load, and not mediated by markers of neuroaxonal degradation. Although AD-specific pathology is typically considered the main cause of accelerated HAR, we demonstrated that HAR is also linked to deteriorating WM health. These results will need to be replicated in more diverse cohorts with longer follow-up periods to confirm the findings.
