Abbreviations: CMB = cerebral microbleed; cSVD = cerebral small vessel disease; FZKS DWMH = Fazekas deep white matter hyperintensity; FZKS PVH = Fazekas periventricular hyperintensity; PVS-BG = perivascular spaces in basal ganglia; PVS-CS = perivascular spaces in centrum semiovale.

FRS was used as a predictor in multinomial or logistic regression models. For these models, odds ratios, confidence intervals (95%), and p values are reported. Odds ratios represent the increase (>1) in the risk of falling in a category (compared with the reference) for a 1-unit increase in the predictor variable. For multinomial models, goodness-of-fit metrics (McFadden R2) are reported. Coefficients refer to comparison with reference groups, and other group contrasts are listed in eTable 7.
