Popis: Background: Mid-regional pro-adrenomedullin (MR-proADM) is a novel biomarker for cognitive decline based on its association with cerebral small vessel disease (SVD). Cerebral microbleeds (MBs) are characteristic of SVD; however, a direct association between MR-proADM and MBs has not been explored. Objective: We aimed to examine whether circulating levels of MR-proADM are associated with the identification of MBs by brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and whether this association could be linked with cognitive impairment. Methods: In total, 214 participants (mean age: 75.9 years) without history of cerebral infarction or dementia were prospectively enrolled. All participants underwent brain MRI, higher cognitive function testing, blood biochemistry evaluation, lifestyle examination, and blood MR-proADM measurement using a time-resolved amplified cryptate emission technology assay. For between-group comparisons, the participants were divided into two groups according to whether their levels of MR-proADM were normal (
