Paper

Abstract

Using a large elderly population cohort, we investigated the relationship between choroid plexus (CP) volume, a potential indicator of glymphatic system activity, and lifestyle-related vascular risk and protective factors, as well as age-related changes in CP volume.

Research summary

The paper claims that vascular risk factors and aging influence choroid plexus volume, which may indicate changes in glymphatic system activity. This research is relevant as it explores the relationship between vascular health and brain aging, potentially addressing underlying mechanisms of age-related cognitive decline.
