Table 3: Correlation analysis of baPWV and ABI with WMHs and MMSE, adjusted for age and vascular risk factors (n=242); The analyses were adjusted for *age or †age and vascular risk factors. baPWV, brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity; ABI, ankle-brachial pressure index; WMHs, white matter hyperintensities; MMSE, mini-mental state examination; ICA, intracerebral artery; HTN, hypertension.
