Predictors of white matter hyperintensities in the elderly Congolese population

Predictors of white matter hyperintensities in the elderly Congolese population

IntroductionWhite matter hyperintensities (WMHs) are strongly linked to cardiovascular risk factors and other health conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease. However, there is a dearth of research on this topic in low-income countries and underserved populations, especially in the Democratic Republic...
