Multimarker Cerebral Small Vessel Disease Score and Risk of Incident Dementia in the Framingham Heart Study

We found a significant association between all-cause dementia and multimarker CSVD scores, which was independent of the FSRP as well as its individual components. Our results support the use of a multimarker CSVD score as an indicator for incident all-cause dementia risk and suggest that it may be as robust as the FSRP. Further studies are necessary to validate the use of a multimarker CSVD score in dementia risk prediction.
