Abbreviations: BG = basal ganglia; CSO = centrum semiovale; CVR = cerebrovascular reactivity; ICV = intracranial volume; MAP = mean arterial pressure; MoCA = Montreal Cognitive Assessment; NAWM = normal-appearing white matter; NIHSS = NIH Stroke Scale; PVS = perivascular space; ROIV = volume of region-of-interest; SGM = subcortical gray matter; WMH = white matter hyperintensity.

Demographic, clinical, and neuroimaging variables are given in each row. The value of the variable at baseline is shown in the second column: nonbinary variables are reported as median (Q1, Q3) and binary and smoking variables as number (%). The change in the relevant variables after 1 year is given in the last column as median (Q1, Q3). The denominator of the binary and categorical variables, which are as independent variables in the linear regression models, are emphasized.
