  1. Note. Data are represented as mean WMH volume (ml) ± SD. The linear regression analyses were adjusted for age, gender and ICV. Regression beta coefficients are presented with a 95% confidence interval. WMH volumes were multiplied by 100 and natural log transformed before performing regression analyses. *p = 0.03.
