Our findings suggest that severity of white matter changes in Nigerians may be a significant risk factor for stroke independent of age and gender. Prospective larger studies will be required to confirm its role in predicting stroke and stroke recurrence independent of other vascular risk factors, such as hypertension, diabetes, and cardiac diseases.
