Recent and long-term glycation markers and asymptomatic cerebral microangiopathy in adults without diabetes: the ILERVAS study

Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This study looked at 3,444 adults who do not have diabetes. It checked if high blood sugar markers were linked to damage in small brain blood vessels. The results show a link between these markers and brain vessel changes. This is an observational study, so it shows a connection but not proof that one causes the other.
