Journal ArticleDOI
Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors and Cognition in the Elderly.
Elizabeth C. Leritz,Regina E. McGlinchey,Regina E. McGlinchey,Regina E. McGlinchey,Ida L. Kellison,James L. Rudolph,James L. Rudolph,James L. Rudolph,William P. Milberg,William P. Milberg,William P. Milberg +10 more
TL;DR: It is critically important to consider risk factors for CVD in the elderly, and routine cognitive screenings are recommended, particularly when CVD risk factors are involved.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association between white matter microstructure, executive functions and processing speed in older adults: the impact of vascular health
Heidi I.L. Jacobs,Heidi I.L. Jacobs,Elizabeth C. Leritz,Victoria J. Williams,Martin P.J. van Boxtel,Wim Van der Elst,Jelle Jolles,Jelle Jolles,Frans R.J. Verhey,Regina E. McGlinchey,William P. Milberg,David H. Salat +11 more
TL;DR: Examination of white matter structure and patterns of regional associations in healthy older adults spanning the normotensive to moderate–severe hypertensive BP range suggests that, although BP and WMSA are causally related, these differential metrics of vascular health may act via independent pathways to influence brain structure, EF and PS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thickness of the human cerebral cortex is associated with metrics of cerebrovascular health in a normative sample of community dwelling older adults.
Elizabeth C. Leritz,David H. Salat,David H. Salat,Victoria J. Williams,Victoria J. Williams,Victoria J. Williams,David M. Schnyer,James L. Rudolph,James L. Rudolph,Lewis A. Lipsitz,Lewis A. Lipsitz,Bruce Fischl,Bruce Fischl,Regina E. McGlinchey,Regina E. McGlinchey,William P. Milberg,William P. Milberg +16 more
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that normal and moderately abnormal levels of parameters used to assess cerebrovascular health may impact brain structure, even in the absence of cerebroVascular disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inter-individual variation in blood pressure is associated with regional white matter integrity in generally healthy older adults
David H. Salat,Victoria J. Williams,Elizabeth C. Leritz,David M. Schnyer,James L. Rudolph,James L. Rudolph,Lewis A. Lipsitz,Lewis A. Lipsitz,Regina E. McGlinchey,Regina E. McGlinchey,William P. Milberg,William P. Milberg +11 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that optimal management of blood pressure may require consideration of the more subtle influence of vascular health on neural health in addition to the primary goal of prevention of a major cerebrovascular event.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reduced cortical thickness with increased lifetime burden of PTSD in OEF/OIF Veterans and the impact of comorbid TBI☆
Emily R. Lindemer,David H. Salat,Elizabeth C. Leritz,Elizabeth C. Leritz,Regina E. McGlinchey,Regina E. McGlinchey,William P. Milberg,William P. Milberg +7 more
TL;DR: Results demonstrated a clear negative relationship between current PTSD severity and thickness in both postcentral gyri and middle temporal gyri, demonstrating the importance of looking at trauma in the context of an individual's lifetime, rather than only at their current symptoms.
