Cardiovascular risk burden, dementia risk and brain structural imaging markers: a study from UK Biobank by Ting Li, Jing Chen, Yan Zheng, Klodian Dhana, Geng Zong, Yuan Ma, Trudy Voortman, Wei Gan, Yaying Cao, Yonghua Hu, Changzheng Yuan, Jie Shen, Gaohong Zhu, Chengwu Feng

“…Background Cardiovascular risk burden is associated with dementia risk and neurodegeneration-related brain structure, while the role of genetics and incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains unclear.Aims To examine the association of overall cardiovascular risk burden with the risk of major dementia subtypes and volumes of related brain regions in a large sample, and to explore the role of genetics and CVD onset.Methods A prospective study among 354 654 participants free of CVD and dementia (2006–2010, mean age 56.4 years) was conducted within the UK Biobank, with brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measurement available for 15 104 participants since 2014. …”
