Results are from logistic regression analysis for ICAS, the prevalence of lacunes, CMBs and EPVS; ORs (95% CI) are shown. Multiple regression analysis was performed for WMHs volume; β (95% CI) represents the change in the log-transformed WMHs volume per SD increase in MetS score. The log-transformed WMHs volume was used in the regression analysis. Model 1: adjusted for age and sex. Model 2: adjusted as in model 1+use of antihyperlipidaemic medication, use of antihypertensive medication, use of antidiabetic medication and current smoking status.
CMBs, cerebral microbleeds; CSVD, cerebral small vessel disease; EPVS, enlarged perivascular spaces; ICAS, intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis; MetS, metabolic syndrome; WMHs, white matter hyperintensities.
