cognition. Results: Change in WMH was significantly greater for AD patients than CN or MCI (Tables 2), but was not influenced by scanner or site. Higher WMH volume at baseline was significantly associated with greater declines in MMSE, category fluency, and Boston Naming measures, consistent with previous studies emphasizing relationships between frontal mediated cognitive task performance and WMH (Table 3). Greater increase in WMH volume was also significantly associated with greater declines in MMSE and multiple measures of executive function (Table 4). Conclusions: A change in WMH was significantly greater for AD patients than CN or MCI (Tables 2), but was not influenced by scanner or site. Higher WMH volume at baseline was significantly associated with greater declines in MMSE, category fluency, and Boston Naming measures, consistent with previous studies emphasizing relationships between frontal mediated cognitive task performance and WMH (Table 3). Greater increase in WMH volume was also significantly associated with greater declines in MMSE and multiple measures of executive function (Table 4).
