Association of Carotid Intima‐Media Thickness and Other Carotid Ultrasound Features With Incident Dementia in the ARIC‐NCS

Association of Carotid Intima‐Media Thickness and Other Carotid Ultrasound Features With Incident Dementia in the ARIC‐NCS

Background Increased carotid intima‐media thickness, interadventitial diameter, presence of carotid plaque, and lower distensibility are predictors for cardiovascular disease. These indices likely relate to cerebrovascular disease, and thus may constitute a form of vascular contributions to dementia...
