Values are presented as mean±standard deviation (cc).
VPVWMH, volume of periventricular white matter hyperintensity; LSBP, low systolic blood pressure group; NSBP, not-low systolic blood pressure group; HT+, participants with controlled hypertension; HT–, participants without hypertension.

Analysis of covariance adjusted for intracranial volume, age, hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus, diastolic blood pressure, number of antihypertensive medications and duration of hypertension as covariates.
