Carotid β-stiffness index

Carotid β-stiffness index is associated with california Verbal Learning Test performance in humans (B=-1.55, 95%CI=-3.08, -0.03, p = 0.045).

“Higher carotid β‐stiffness index was associated with worse CVLT performance (B=‐1.55, p = 0.045, 95%CI=‐3.08, ‐0.03)”

Carotid β-stiffness index is associated with brain default mode network functional connectivity in humans (r^2 = 0.260, p = 0.0002).

“Higher carotid β‐stiffness index was associated with higher DMN‐FC between the PCC and right precentral gyrus (PcG) in the cognitively normal (B=0.02, r 2 = 0.373, p = 0.003) and aMCI group (r 2 = 0.260, p = 0.0002).”
