Does Cardiovascular Risk Mediate Associations Between Race/Ethnicity, Gender, and Neuroimaging Markers of Dementia? An Analysis from the HABS‐HD Cohort

Abstract

Background: Emerging data illustrates important differences in dementia‐related pathology by race/ethnicity and gender, similar to patterns in cardiovascular risk. We hypothesized that neuroimaging markers of dementia would differ by race/ethnicity and gender and that cardiovascular risk would partially mediate these associations.
