Radboud University Nijmegen Diffusion Tensor and Magnetic Resonance Cohort Study (RUN DMC)
The RUN DMC study is a prospective cohort study in Nijmegen, Netherlands, among 503 non-demented participants aged between 50 and 85 years at baseline. The baseline assessment was conducted in 2006 and follow-up assessment was in 2012. Patients were referred either because of acute symptoms, such as transient ischemic attack (TIA) or lacunar syndromes, or subacute complaints such as cognitive, motor disturbances, and/or depressive symptoms.
