NC, normal cognitively; AD, Alzheimer's disease; WMHr, quantitative WMHs ratio; DWMHr, quantitative deep WMH ratio; PVWMHr, quantitative periventricular WMH ratio; QMTA, quantitative medial temporal atrophy; rs, Spearman r. The p-value was obtained by Spearman correlation coefficient values. *means statistical significance after Bonferroni correction.
