Cerebral blood flow (CBF) is an important factor in brain function. We to assess the link between quantified gray matter CBF and epidemiological factors obtained 12 years before, on a large cohort of elderly subjects. Mean and regional CBF were obtained from Pulsed Arterial Spin Labeling sequence after correction for white matter lesion and partial volume effect. Results exhibit significant decrease in CBF in dyslipidemia and an increase in hypertension. The regional analysis highlights localization of these modifications in posterior circulation territories (hypertension), and regions of the anterior circulation (dyslipidemia). Those two factors seems able to predict CBF variations.
