claimThese modifiable risk factors include arterial hypertension []—the major risk factor at the population level—as well as dyslipidemia and high body mass index (BMI), all of which can trigger inflammation and stenosis of cerebral blood vessels, leading to reduced blood flow and neural tissue damage.
