Does gender affect the progression rate of white matter hyperintensities in elderly individuals?
Does gender affect the progression rate of white matter hyperintensities in elderly individuals?
Elderly women accumulate deep white matter hyperintensities at approximately twice the rate of elderly men over 3 years, suggesting gender-specific pathogenic mechanisms.
