    Sarah E Vermeer
    Department of Neurology, Erasmus Medical Center, Rotterdam, The Netherlands
    Lancet Neurol 6:611-9. 2007
    ..Future studies will have to show whether screening and treating high-risk patients can effectively reduce the risk of further infarcts, stroke, and dementia...
  2. ncbi Impaired glucose tolerance increases stroke risk in nondiabetic patients with transient ischemic attack or minor ischemic stroke
    Sarah E Vermeer
    Department of Neurology, Erasmus Medical Center, Rotterdam, The Netherlands
    Stroke 37:1413-7. 2006

  3. ncbi Cerebral white matter lesions and the risk of dementia
    Niels D Prins
    Department of Epidemiology, Erasmus Medical Center, 3000 DR Rotterdam, The Netherlands
    Arch Neurol 61:1531-4. 2004
    ..CONCLUSION: White matter lesions, especially in the periventricular region, increase the risk of dementia in elderly people...
  4. ncbi Silent brain infarcts and white matter lesions increase stroke risk in the general population: the Rotterdam Scan Study
    Sarah E Vermeer
    Dept of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Erasmus Medical Center, Rotterdam, The Netherlands
    Stroke 34:1126-9. 2003
    ..CONCLUSIONS: Elderly people with silent brain infarcts and white matter lesions are at a strongly increased risk of stroke, which could not be explained by the major stroke risk factors...
  5. ncbi Alcohol intake in relation to brain magnetic resonance imaging findings in older persons without dementia
    Tom den Heijer
    Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Erasmus Medical Center, Rotterdam, Netherlands
    Am J Clin Nutr 80:992-7. 2004

    Niels D Prins
    Department of Neurology, Erasmus Medical Center, Rotterdam, The Netherlands
    Brain 128:2034-41. 2005
    ..Our results suggest that in older people cerebral small-vessel disease may contribute to cognitive decline by affecting information processing speed and executive function...
