Prospective study of major dietary patterns and stroke risk in women.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:White matter hyperintensities (WMH) are frequently seen on neuroimaging of elderly and are associated with cognitive decline and the development of dementia. Yet, the temporal dynamics of conversion of normal-appearing white matter (NAWM) into WMH remains unknown. We examined whether and when pro...
