Automated quantification derived global stenosis and brain arterial remodeling (BAR) scores. CBF and spatial coefficient of variation (sCoV) assessed hemodynamics; WMH volume from FLAIR; cognition from a validated neuropsychological battery. Structural equation modelling (SEM) evaluated associations, adjusting for demographics and cardiovascular risk factors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Higher sCoV was associated with higher BAR (\u03b2\u2009=\u20090.14, 95% CI:0.06\u20130.23). WMH was associated with stenosis (\u03b2\u2009=\u20090.20, CI:0.12\u20130.28) and BAR (\u03b2\u2009=\u20090.07, CI:0.001\u20130.140).

Higher BAR was associated with better global cognition (\u03b2\u2009=\u20090.07, CI:0.00\u20130.14).
