β, standardized β coefficient; CSVD, cerebral small vessel disease; WMH, white matter hyperintensities; CMBs, cerebral microbleeds; PVS-WM, dilated perivascular spaces in WM; PVS-BG, dilated perivascular spaces in BG; BPF, brain parenchymal fraction. Model 1: adjustment for age and sex. Model 2: additional adjustment for MMSE, education level (high school and above vs. below). Model 3: additional adjustment for vascular risk factors (hypertension, DM, hyperlipidemia, and smoking status). Uncorrected p < 0.05. ∗∗Surviving a FDR-corrected threshold of p(FDR) = 0.05.
