Objective To analysis the risk factors for the progression of white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) in the non-demented elderly. Methods A total of 263 non-demented elderly who completed baseline and 3-year follow-up T2 FLAIR scans were screened from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI)-1 cohort. They were divided into the progressive group(n=66) and non-progressive group (n=197) according to the progression of WMHs. The baseline demographic data, cardiovascular disease history, apolipoprotein E (apoE) genotype, cognitive function and WMHs volumes at baseline and three-year follow-up were compared between the two groups. The risk factors for the progression of WMHs in the non-demented elderly were evaluated by logistic regression analysis. Results The age, the proportion of coronary heart disease, the WMHs volume at baseline and three-year follow-up in WMHs progressive group were higher than those in non-progressive group, and the scores of immediate memory of auditory verbal learning test and trail making test-B were significantly lower than those in non-progressive group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Age correlated positively with baseline WMHs volume and WMHs volume at three-year follow-up (rs=0.273, P<0.001; rs=0.306, P<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age ≥80 years and a history of coronary heart disease were independent risk factors for the progression of WMHs (OR=2.257, 95%CI 1.219-4.178, P=0.010;OR=2.556, 95%CI 1.048-6.234, P=0.039). Conclusion Age ≥80 years and a history of coronary heart disease are independent risk factors for the progression of WMHs in the non-demented elderly.
