Kong, Catriona Ireland, Genevieve Z. Steiner-Lim, Kimberley Bassett, Hannes Almgren, Dongang Wang, Chenyu Wang, Johannes C. Michaelian, Sharon L. Naismith

“…This study aimed to investigate whether the associations of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) with neuropsychological performance (verbal memory, executive function, processing speed) and cerebral white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) differed between older adults with subjective cognitive decline (SCD; n = 179) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI; n = 286). Fasting serum hs-CRP concentrations were grouped into low (<1.0 mg/L), moderate (1.0–3.0 mg/L), and high (>3.0–10.0 mg/L). …”
