%HP extent was related to high log tHcy level. On the other hand, %WB extent was related to high age, significantly.
Abbreviations are; %HP, percentage of hippocampal atrophy; %WB, percentage of whole-brain atrophy; tHcy, total homocysteine; BMI, body mass index; baPWV, brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity; sAlb, serum albumin.
