Midlife cardiovascular risk factors and brain morphology in identical older male twins

1 Apr 1999

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Structural changes in the human brain have been reported to a greater extent in subjects with cardiovascular risk factors. We conducted a matched co-twin analysis of elderly monozygotic twins from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Twin Study to examine the association between midlife cardiovascular risk factors and MRI-based measures of brain atrophy. METHODS: Brain MRIs (1.5-T) were...
