Relationship between cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (sVCAM-1) levels and other vascular markers according to race. In Caucasians (open circles), CSF sVCAM-1 levels strongly correlated with log-transformed white matter hyperintensity (WMH) volumes derived by magnetic resonance imaging (a, b) and the total number of peripheral vascular risk factors (c, d) whether a more (a, c) or less stringent (b, d) threshold was applied to identify subjects with no Alzheimer’s disease pathology. However, there was no such correlation in African Americans (closed circles). Aβ42 β-Amyloid 1–42, t-Tau Total tau
