Evaluating the relationship of perivascular spaces with vascular risk factors, amyloid positivity, and cognitive impairment
PVS burden was significantly greater in amyloid-positive individuals compared to amyloid-negative individuals, likely due to the impaired CSF flow in the PVSs associated with glymphatic clearance. Our moderate sample size could explain the absence of associations with vascular risk factors.
