Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Study Objectives: Growing evidence demonstrates pronounced alterations in rest-activity functioning in older adults at-risk for dementia. White matter degeneration, poor cardiometabolic functioning, and depression have also been linked to a greater risk of decline; however, limited studies have examined the white matter in relation to rest-activity functioning in at-risk older adults. Methods: We investigated associations between nonparametric actigraphy measures and white matter microarchitecture using whole-brain fixel-based analysis of diffusion-weighted imaging in older adults (aged 50 years or older) at-risk for cognitive decline and dementia. The fixel-based metrics assessed were fiber density, fiber cross-section, and combined fiber-density, and cross-section. Interactions between rest-activity functioning and known clinical risk factors, specifically body mass index (BMI), vascular risk factors, depressive symptoms and self-reported exercise, and their association with white matter properties were then investigated. Results: Sixty-seven older adults were included (mean = 65.78 years, SD = 7.89). Lower relative amplitude, poorer 24-h synchronization and earlier onset of the least active 5-h period were associated with reductions in markers of white matter atrophy in widespread regions, including cortico-subcortical and cortical association pathways. Preliminary evidence was also found indicating more pronounced white matter alterations in those with lower amplitude and higher BMI (β = 0.25, 95% CI [0.05, 0.46]), poorer 24-h synchronization and more vascular risk factors (β = 0.17, 95% CI [-0.02, 0.36]) and earlier onset of inactivity and greater depressive symptoms (β = 0.17, 95% CI [0.03, 0.30]). Conclusions: These findings highlight the complex interplay between rest-activity rhythms, white matter, and clinical risk factors in individuals at-risk for dementia that should be considered in future studies.
