Abstract

1 min read

Carotid atherosclerosis markers were associated with MRI indices of brain ischemia and aging and with cognitive impairment in a community-based sample of middle-aged adults. Our data suggest that internal carotid artery intima-media thickness may be a better marker for cognitive impairment than common carotid artery intima-media thickness.
