Generalised linear models were applied to examine 1) the main effects of vascular (body mass index, hip to waist ratio, pulse wave velocity, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes, hypertension, smoking status) and hormonal (testosterone levels, contraceptive pill, hormone replacement therapy, menopause) factors on WMH, and 2) the moderation effects of hormonal factors on the relationship between vascular risk factors and WMH volumes.
