Subclinical brain lesions and risk of ischemic stroke subtypes. WMHV represents associations using the natural log‐transformed continuous variable (lnWMHV, 1/TIV%) per standard deviation. SBI represents association for SBI presence as a binary variable. *P<0.05. ^†HRs and 95% CIs were estimated using Cox proportional hazards models, adjusted for age, sex, race/ethnicity, education, medical insurance status, body mass index, smoking, physical activity, moderate alcohol drinking, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia, history of atrial fibrillation, coronary artery disease, and myocardial infarction. Additional information can be found in Table S2. CI indicates confidence interval; HR, hazard ratio; NH, non‐Hispanic; SBI, subclinical brain infarction; TIV, total intracranial volume; WMHV, white matter hyperintensity volume.
