TLDR

The hypothesis that retinal capillary perfusion is a biomarker of early cognitive decline and cerebrovascular perfusion associated with small vessel disease is investigated in a pilot data set of Latinx adults at high risk for vascular cognitive impairment and dementia.

Abstract

We investigated the hypothesis that retinal capillary perfusion is a biomarker of early cognitive decline and cerebrovascular perfusion associated with small vessel disease in a pilot data set of Latinx adults at high risk for vascular cognitive impairment and dementia.
