Fig 3. Kaplan-Meier survival curve according to the presence of severe white matter hyperintensity (WMH) in the older age group.

Fig 3

In the older age group (age ≥65 years), patients with severe WMH showed a tendency toward a higher (A) all cause (p = 0.059) and (B) cardiovascular (p = 0.087) death rate. This association was not found in patients in the younger age group. In the limited analysis of follow-up within 5 years, older age patients with severe WMH showed significantly higher (C) all cause (p = 0.034) and (D) cardiovascular (p = 0.045) mortality rates than patients with no or mild WMH.
