Key Points

The research aims to explore the relationship between systemic inflammatory markers and the progression of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD).
Community-based prospective study design
Analysis of systemic inflammatory markers like NLR, MLR, and SII
Follow-up over approximately 4.7 years for CSVD progression
Elevated NLR, MLR, and SII are associated with increased total CSVD burden
These markers correlate with progression in white matter hyperintensity, incident lacunes, and CMBs

Abstract

This community-based prospective study demonstrated that elevated NLR, MLR, and SII were associated with progression of total CSVD burden and progression of white matter hyperintensity, incident lacunes, and CMBs over ∼4.7 years, supporting their potential to provide additional context for CSVD preventive considerations. Limitations include study's single-city population and the lack of dynamic changes in inflammatory markers.
