abstract = {White Matter Lesions (WML) are linked to aging and vascular
risk factors, while their microstructural mechanisms remain
largely unclear. Using Neurite Orientation Dispersion and
Density Imaging (NODDI), we investigated microarchitectural
properties in WML in 915 participants $(47\%$ female, ages
18-85) from the population-based 1000BRAINS
study.Microstructural properties, i.e. FA, extracellular
volume fraction (ECVF), neurite density (ICVF) and
dispersion (ODI) were derived from T1- and
diffusion-weighted MRI for WML and normal-appearing white
matter (NAWM). Within-person differences between WML and
NAWM were calculated for each property and related to age,
cardiovascular risk (e.g., blood pressure), and vascular
supply. Older age is associated with increased ECVF and ODI
differences, but smaller ICVF differences. Mostly similar
patterns were found for higher cardiovascular risk. In
contrast to expectations, FA differences decreased with age.
Compared to NAWM, WML show an increased ECVF in
anterior-supplied, while ICVF in medial-supplied and ODI in
posterior-supplied cerebral artery regions decrease.
Together, our data indicate a non-uniform distribution of
microstructural changes in WML across vascular territories,
with additional variation linked to cardiovascular risk and
age. Overall, the data suggest a greater reduction in
neurite density in WML compared to NAWM in relation to older
age.},
