Table. 3 Associations between enlargement of perivascular spaces in basal ganglia and centrum semiovale regions, and demographic and cardiovascular risk factors. Legend: n, count of individuals for each categorical variable; SD, standard deviation; BG, basal ganglia; CS, centrum semiovale; ePVS, enlarged perivascular spaces; WMH, white matter hyperintensities; GM, gray matter volume; TIV, total intracranial volume; OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval

From: Perivascular spaces are associated with tau pathophysiology and synaptic dysfunction in early Alzheimer’s continuum
