Exploring the relationship between frailty and executive dysfunction: the role of frontal white matter hyperintensities

IntroductionFrailty is a geriatric syndrome frequently associated with executive dysfunction and white matter hyperintensities (WMH). But the relation between executive dysfunction and brain changes is poorly understood in frail subjects. Our hypothesis is that frontal-WMH mediates the association between frailty and executive dysfunction.MethodsA convenience sample of 113 subjects older than 65 years without dementia was […]
