概要	Hypertension is the most important risk factor for cerebral small vessel disease (SVD). In this cross-sectional study, we tested the independent association of cerebral SVD burden with global cognitive function and each cognitive domain in patients with vascular risk factors. The Tokyo Women's Medical University Cerebral Vessel Disease (TWMU CVD) registry is an ongoing prospective, observational registry in which patients with any evidence of CVD in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and at least one vascular risk factor were consecutively enrolled. For SVD-related findings, we evaluated white matter hyperintensity, lacunar infarction, cerebral microbleeds, enlarged perivascular space, and medial temporal atrophy. We used the total SVD score as the SVD burden. They underwent the Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE) and Japanese version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA-J) global cognitive tests, and each cognitive domain was evaluated. After excluding patients without MRI T2* images and those with MMSE score <24, we analyzed 648 patients. The total SVD score was significantly associated with MMSE and MoCA-J scores. After adjustment for age, sex, education, risk factors, and medial temporal atrophy, the association between the total SVD score and MoCA-J score remained significant. The total SVD score was independently associated with attention. In conclusion, the total SVD score, cerebral SVD burden, was independently association with global cognitive function and attention. A strategy to reduce SVD burden will have the potential to prevent cognitive decline. A total of 648 patients with any evidence of cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) in MRI and at least one vascular risk factor underwent Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE) and Japanese version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA-J) global cognitive tests. The total SVD scores count the presence of each SVD-related findings (white matter hyperintensity, Lacunar infarction, cerebral microbleeds and
