   Proposal Description:
   We recently obtained data from NACC. We are now exploring another question and wondering if you could help. I believe we have   almost all the data but we just want to confirm that with you and also seek additional data if needed. Basically, we are looking to develop a model that can predict 5-year or 10-year Stroke or AD-Dementia or Vascular Dementia risk on   patients from just the baseline data.                                             The baseline data would include raw MR scans plus other risk factors including history of stroke, age, sex, systolic blood pressure, use of antihypertensives, presence/absence of left ventricular hypertrophy on ECG, prevalent cardiovascular disease, current smoking status, current/previous atrial
