Leukoaraiosis refers to white matter changes in the brain linked to small vessel disease and ageing. It is commonly found in older adults and is associated with cardiovascular risk factors. An MRI may show diffuse white matter signal changes consistent with leukoaraiosis. Identifying leukoaraiosis early reinforces the importance of cardiovascular risk management that may help slow its progression and reduce the risk of stroke and cognitive decline.
