{Abstract}: The purpose of this study is to the relationship between peripheral apolipoproteins and cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) imaging markers.<BR>We reviewed the data of a population that above 40 years old with CSVD, while free of known dementia or acute stroke. We evaluated CSVD imaging markers, including white matter hyperintensities (WMHs), enlarged perivascular spaces (EPVS), lacunas, microbleeds by MRI scans, and measured peripheral apolipoproteins.<BR>After adjusting for age, sex and vascular risk factors,1) apoB and apoB/apoA-1 were related to grade of EPVS in basal ganglia(apoB:r=0.196,p<0.001;apoB/apoA-1:r=0.208,p<0.001), apoE was related to grade of EPVS in centrum semiovale (r=0.125,p=0.040); 2) apoB(OR=1.739, 95%CI=1.357-2.061, p<0.001), apoB/apoA-1(OR=1.116, 95%CI=1.037-1.761, p=0.005) and apoE(OR=1.287, 95%CI=1.036-1.599, p=0.023) were independent factors of presence of severer EPVS in basal ganglia, apoE was an independent factor of presence of severer EPVS in centrum semiovale (OR=1.235, 95%CI=1.021-1.494, p=0.029).<BR>Our findings demonstrated peripheral apolipoproteins, including apoB, apoB/apoA-1, and apoE, were independent factor for EPVS in CSVD.
