ABSTRACT
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and hypertension are risk factors for cerebral small vessel disease (SVD); however, few studies have characterised their relationships with MRI-visible perivascular spaces (PVS). MRI was used to quantify deep (d) and periventricular (p) white matter hyperintensities (WMH), lacunes, PVS in the white matter (wmPVS) or basal ganglia (bgPVS), and diffusion metrics in white matter. Patients with T2DM had greater wmPVS volume and there were greater wmPVS volumes in patients with T2DM and hypertension together. Counterfactual moderated mediation models found indirect effects of T2DM on volumes of other SVD and diffusion markers that were mediated by wmPVS pWMH, dWMH, periventricular lacunes, and deep lacunes, and progression of deep lacunes over 1 year, in patients with hypertension, but not in patients without hypertension. Studying the regulation of cortical perivascular fluid dynamics may reveal mechanisms that mediate the impact of T2DM on cerebral small vessels.
