Complementary MR measures of white matter and their relation to cardiovascular health and cognition by Petar P. Raykov, Marta Correia, Kamen Tsvetanov, Rafael N. Henriques, Alberto Del Cerro-León, Matthew Bracher-Smith, Valentina Escott-Price, Yordan P. Raykov, Richard N. Henson

“…Even after adjusting for age and sex, we found that a vascular factor related to pulse pressure predicted the WM factor capturing free-water/tissue damage, and that several WM factors made unique predictions for fluid intelligence and processing speed. Our results show that there is both complementary and redundant information across common MR measures of WM, and their underlying latent factors may be useful for pinpointing the differential causes and contributions of white matter health in aging.…”
