Studies show white matter hyperintensities, regardless of location, primarily affect frontal lobe metabolism and function. This report investigates how regional white matter integrity (measured as fractional anisotropy (FA)) relates to brain metabolism in order to unravel the complex relationship between white matter change and brain metabolism. To elucidate the relationship between white matter integrity and gray matter metabolism using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) in a cohort of 16 subjects ranging from normal to demented (age>55). Cross-sectional regression analyses using mean FA values from white matter regions underlying the medial prefrontal, inferior-lateral prefrontal, parietal association, and posterior temporal areas and corpus callosum were regressed with glucose metabolism (PET) using SPM2 (p < 0.005, voxel cluster > 100). Regional cerebral glucose metabolism was the primary outcome measure, with our major hypotheses being those hypometabolic cortical regions affected by Alzheimer’s disease would correlate with lower FA of associated tracks. Our data show inter-regional positive correlations between FA and gray matter metabolism for the prefrontal cortex, temporal and parietal regions. Our results suggest left prefrontal FA is associated with left temporal and parietal metabolism. Further, left posterior temporal FA correlated with left prefrontal metabolism. Finally, bilateral parietal FA correlated with bilateral temporal metabolism. These regions are associated with the cognitive processes affected in AD and Cerebrovascular Disease, suggesting a link with white matter degeneration and gray matter hypometabolism. Therefore cortical function and white matter degeneration are related in aging and dementia.
