Abstract | Background: Lower hippocampal volume is associated with late-life cognitive decline and is an important, but nonspecific marker for clinical Alzheimer's dementia. Cerebrovascular disease may also be associated with hippocampal volume. Here we study the role of intracranial large vessel disease (atherosclerosis) in association with hippocampal volume and the potential role of age, average late-life blood pressure across all visits, and other factors (sex, apolipoprotein ε4 [ Methods and results: Data came from 765 community-based older people (91 years old on average at death; 72% women), from 2 ongoing clinical-pathologic cohort studies. Participants completed baseline assessment, annual standardized blood pressure measurements, vascular risk assessment for diabetes, and blood draws to determine Conclusions: Atherosclerosis severity is associated with lower hippocampal volume, independent of neurodegenerative and other cerebrovascular pathologies. Higher systolic blood pressures and advanced age attenuate associations. |
