Abstract in brief

  • The study used MRI imaging to measure glymphatic system function through the ALPS index and found that it decreases with age, is higher in females, and is lower in hypertensive individuals.
  • Venous disruption also appears to negatively impact glymphatic function, as indicated by a lower ALPS index.
  • These findings support previous research suggesting that demographic and vascular risk factors influence the health of the glymphatic system, which is important for understanding brain diseases.
