Abstract
Introduction: Stiffening of the aorta is associated with greater pulse pressure and transmission of pulsatile energy into the cerebral circulation, which can increase susceptibility to microvascular damage in the brain. We tested the hypothesis that higher aortic stiffness measured in late-life is associated with a greater prevalence odds of dementia measured ~5 years later. Methods: Dementia-free ARIC-NCS participants (n=4753; mean age: 75...
