Implication

Observational study reveals lower white matter volume links to worse cognition in community-dwelling adults, highlighting subcortical vascular injury.

Key Points

To determine the associations of white matter and gray matter volumes with cognitive performance in a community-dwelling population.
Assessed brain tissue volumes (white matter and gray matter) in community-dwelling individuals.
Measured cognitive performance across domains, focusing on global cognition and executive function in relation to age- and vascular-related changes.
Reduced white matter volumes, stemming from aging and vascular damage, were significantly associated with worse global cognition and poorer executive function.
Gray matter volumes demonstrated no significant association with cognitive performance in this cohort.
