Advance TBI – Contribution of Cardiovascular Risk to Brain Health

Hypothesis

Patients with poorer cardiovascular health will show evidence of greater neurodegeneration, and this will be additional to TBI-related neurodegeneration (with relative contributions which can be fractionated).

Summary

The project will assess the contributions of cardiovascular risk and TBI on brain health measures. The hypothesis is that participants with cardiovascular risk increase neurodegeneration which is in addition to TBI-related neurodegeneration with both contributions fractionated.
