Abstract: Clinicopathologic data from 285 autopsies were analyzed. The decedents were long‐standing participants in the Honolulu‐Asia Aging Study, a prospective epidemiologic investigation of stroke, neurodegenerative diseases, and aging. We assessed the prevalence at death of four primary neuropathologic processes using specific microscopic lesions as indicators. An algorithm was developed to assign each decedent to one of six subsets, corresponding to pathologic dominance by microvascular… CONTINUE READING
