Cerebrovascular disease in the form of white matter hyperintensities (WMH) increases with age and is associated separately with sedentary time and reduced kidney function. A better understanding of the relationships among these variables would help clarify whether sedentary time should be considered more closely in older adults at particular levels of kidney function to reduce the risk of WMH.
