Lower white matter hyperintensity is associated with lower mild behavioral impairment severity among pre‐dementia people with higher education attainment

Mild behavioral impairment (MBI) describes the emergence of neurobehavioral symptoms in later life as harbingers of neurodegeneration. Emerging evidence suggests that white matter hyperintensity (WMH), a known risk factor for cognitive impairment, is associated with MBI. Furthermore, education level which reflects cognitive reserve, influences the risk of dementia. However, the role of education levels on the relationship between WMH and MBI is unknown. Here, we aim to evaluate the effects of education levels on WMH and MBI among a pre‐dementia cohort from a memory clinic in Singapore.
