Abstract
Cerebral white matter hyperintensities on brain MRI (leukoaraiosis) are associated with increased risk of stroke and dementia. To assess the relationships of blood pressure level and circadian pattern with leukoaraiosis, we obtained 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure recordings and brain magnetic resonance images in 343 white and 267 black adults who were members of sibships that had >or=2 siblings with essential hypertension. In multiple linear regression models, factors associated with greater leukoaraiosis in both racial groups included age (P
