  • WMH and EPVS progression analysed using linear mixed-effects modelling; CMB progression analysed using Spearman’s correlation. Lacune progression not analysed due to low incidence of new lacunes.

  • *P<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.001.

  • CAA, cerebral amyloid angiopathy; CAIDE, Cardiovascular Risk Factors, Ageing and Dementia; CMB, cerebral microbleeds; CRP, C reactive protein; EPVS, enlarged perivascular spaces; FDR, false discovery rate; HA, hypertensive arteriopathy; SVD, small vessel disease; WMH, white matter hyperintensities.
