Obesity with Low Bone Mineral Density is A Risk for Cerebral Small-Vessel Disease in Older Adults: The Bunkyo Health Study

Key Points

• To evaluate the relationship between obesity, low bone mineral density, and the prevalence of cerebral small-vessel disease in older adults.
• Conducted an observational study
• Analyzed the prevalence of obesity and low bone mineral density
• Examined the association with cerebral small-vessel disease
• Found a higher prevalence of cerebral small-vessel disease in individuals with both obesity and low bone mineral density
• Indicated a potential additive effect of obesity and low BMD on cSVD risk
