Aging and cerebrovascular disease
J Y Choi, J C Morris, C Y Hsu. Neurologic clinics, 1998-08
Topic: Plasma and spinal-fluid biomarkers
Aging influences cerebrovascular disease expression by a variety of mechanisms. Age-related changes in cerebral autoregulation, cellular metabolism, the blood-brain barrier, and autonomic function may leave the cerebrovascular system vulnerable to injury. Certain cerebrovascular disease, such as atrial fibrillation, watershed infarctions, carotid artery atherosclerosis, cerebral hemorrhages, subdural hematomas, and transient global amnesia manifest in the elderly. Vascular dementia and white matter disease are better understood with newer neuroimaging studies, careful neuropsychological and histopathologic examinations. Atherosclerosis and cerebral amyloid angiopathy may have larger roles than previously understood in Alzheimer's disease.

How this study scored 38/100
Published in a peer-reviewed journal. Scored zero for study design, sample size, effect reported, studied in people and randomised / blinded because the record does not state it. We have no data on journal's citation record, times cited, citations per year, impact for its field and year, cited by studies here, still being cited, senior author's track record, institution's track record, multi-centre collaboration and free to read, so those were left out: it earned 21 of the 56 points we could judge it on, which is 38 out of 100.
