Background: Arterial stiffness may contribute to depression via cerebral microvascular
damage, but evidence for this is scarce. We therefore investigated whether arterial stiffness …

Background Arterial stiffness may contribute to late-life depression via cerebral
microvascular damage, but evidence is scarce. No longitudinal study has evaluated the …

Background Arterial stiffness is a known predictor of cardiovascular disease, and has also
been associated with markers of cerebral small vessel disease as well as poor cognitive …

Arterial stiffness may be a cause of cerebral small vessel disease and cognitive impairment.
We therefore performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies on the association …

Background: Arterial stiffening may underlie the association between depression and
cardiovascular disease (CVD), but reported data are inconsistent. We investigated the …

BACKGROUND: Arterial stiffness gains attention as a potential mechanism underlying the
frequently found association between depression or anxiety and cardiovascular disease …

Objectives: To determine whether arterial stiffness is associated with depression in the
elderly. Design: Population‐based cross‐sectional study. Setting: In Ommoord, a suburb of …

Background Cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD) is a major contributing factor to ischemic
stroke and dementia. However, the vascular pathologies of cSVD remain inconclusive. The …

Background Carotid artery stiffness is associated with cognitive impairment and dementia,
but the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. We examined the associations of carotid …

Background and Purpose—We assessed whether the load of cerebral small vessel disease
(cSVD) and its individual markers, including lacunes, white matter hyperintensities …
