<h4>Introduction</h4>White matter hyperintensity volume (WMHV) and subclinical brain infarcts (SBI) are associated with impaired mobility, but less is known about the association of WMHV in specific brain regions. We hypothesized that anterior WMHV would be associated with lower scores on the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), a well-validated mobility scale.<h4>Methods</h4>The SPPB was measured a median of 5 years after enrollment into the Northern Manhattan MRI sub study. Volumetric di ...[more]
