Abstract

Carotid plaque reflects systemic atherosclerosis and may serve as an early marker of cognitive decline, but its longitudinal association with cognitive trajectories remains unclear. This study aimed to examine whether baseline carotid plaque status (small-to-medium size) was associated with longitudinal changes in cognitive performance in a middle-aged population.
