Using linear and logistic regression, we estimated the association of the composite intima\u2013media thickness measured in three segments of carotid arteries (common carotid artery, carotid artery bulb, and internal carotid artery) with volume (cm3) and CBF (mL\/100 g\/min) in the total brain and gray matter as well as volume of white matter hyperintensities (cm3).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>In the analysis, 461 participants (54% women, 34% African Americans) were included. Greater intima\u2013media thickness was associated with lower CBF in gray matter (\u03b2=\u22121.36; p = .04) and total brain (\u03b2=\u22121.26; p = .04), adjusting for age, sex, race, education, and total brain volume. The associations became statistically nonsignificant after further controlling for cardiovascular risk factors. Intima\u2013media thickness was not associated with volumes of total brain, gray matter, and white matter hyperintensities.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This study suggests that lower CBF in middle age is associated with markers of atherosclerosis in the carotid arteries.
