Enlarged Perivascular Spaces Among Hispanic and Latino Adults in SOL-INCA-MRI.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To examine preliminary associations between enlarged perivascular spaces (ePVS) and cerebrovascular small-vessel disease, cortical atrophy, and cognitive impairment among a select cohort of Hispanic and Latino adults. The Hispanic and Latino population has a higher prevalence of dementia and vascular disease but is underrepresented in dementia research. This study addresses this gap by investigating ePVS in a large convenience cohort of Hispanic and Latino individuals.

Methods

Brain magnetic resonance images from a convenience sample of 2161 participants, including 28.8% of individuals aged >50 years with cognitive impairment from the SOL-INCA-MRI (Study of Latinos-Investigation of Neurocognitive Aging Magnetic Resonance Imaging) study were analyzed. ePVS volume i
