General linear regression was used to assess the potential risk factors for DMVs score. And logistics regression was used to assess the association between DMVs score with CSVD burden and neuroimaging markers of CSVD.
Several conventional vascular factors were associated with DMVs. The relationship between DMVs and CSVD was vulnerable, suggesting decreased visible and discontinuous DMVs may differ mechanistically from traditional markers of CSVD.
Mean age was 61.8 (SD 6.5) years, and 1027 (53.8%) of participants were men. The median DMV scores were14 (IQR 12-16). DMV scores wererelated to age, male sex, body mass index, diastolic blood pressure, hypercholesterolaemia, atrial fibrillation, current drinking, total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein, hemoglobin A1c, leukocytes, lymphocytes, hemoglobin, and platelets (p < .05). DMV scores wereassociated with the presence and total burden of CSVD (Rothwell's scale), modified white matter hyperintensity burden, and enlarged perivascular spaces in centrum semiovale (p < .05). However, these associations between DMV scores and CSVD disappeared after adjusting for potential confounders.
