Reliability of self-reported risk factors was high in overweight (F1 0.81) and diabetes (F1 0.71), moderate in hearing impairment (F1 0.59) and hypertension (F1 0.56) and low in hypercholesterolemia (F1 0.49) and kidney disease (F1 0.25).

Abstract WMP18: The Association between Cerebral Microbleed Patterns and Incident Dementia: The ARIC-Neurocognitive Study

Stroke Journal

CMBs in lobar regions suggest cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA), which is sometimes accompanied by superficial siderosis (SS), while subcortical CMBs indicate hypertensive origins.
