Cognitive Impairment in Healthy Filipino Adults with MRI Non-specific White Matter Change (P4.198)
CONCLUSIONS:Our results varied from majority of large-scale studies on NSWMC worldwide. In other studies the population did not exclude subjects with small hippocampus or previous history of stroke. Our study aims is to correlate NSWMC to cognitive decline in an otherwise healthy adult with no vascular or Alzheimers dementia. We conclude that in healthy Filipino adults with normal hippocampal volume and with no history of vascular strokes, the presence of NSWMC does not correlate with cognitive impairment.Disclosure: Dr. Talamera has nothing to disclose.
