Article Synopsis
- Cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD) is linked to stroke and dementia and has been under-researched in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), prompting a systematic review to investigate its prevalence in these regions.
- The study analyzed data from articles published between January 2000 and March 2022, culminating in the inclusion of 42 studies from 12 global regions, most notably from China.
- Findings revealed varying prevalence rates of cSVD markers, with moderate-to-severe white matter hyperintensities being 58.4% among dementia patients, and age was identified as a significant predictor of disease prevalence.
